## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2802

It includes Sulphur: Sublimed/Precipitated

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Sulphur: Sublimed/Precipitated?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Sulphur: Sublimed/Precipitated?

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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Sulphur: Sublimed/Precipitated?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Sulphur: Sublimed/Precipitated 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.

### How should I document Sulphur: Sublimed/Precipitated sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Sulphur: Sublimed/Precipitated 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.

### If I repair and return Sulphur: Sublimed/Precipitated, how should I charge GST?

Repair/service is a service supply (SAC). Parts and materials used are goods and may be billed separately with HSN. Mention both lines clearly to avoid mixing service and goods values.
