## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2610

It includes Chromium ores & extracts

### How should I document Chromium ores & extracts sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Chromium ores & extracts to the job worker. Declare movement in your records and reconcile when the goods return. If the job worker raises a service invoice, classify it under SAC; your goods remain under the original HSN.

### Do spares or accessories of Chromium ores & extracts follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.

### Any special steps when selling Chromium ores & extracts through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Chromium ores & extracts?

Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Chromium ores & extracts?

Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Chromium ores & extracts?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.
