Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2620 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2620

It includes Slag & residues with metals

How should I document Slag & residues with metals sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Slag & residues with metals 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.

How are warranty replacements of Slag & residues with metals handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Slag & residues with metals?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Slag & residues with metals?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Slag & residues with metals is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Slag & residues with metals?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.
