Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2804 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2804

It includes Hydrogen, rare gases, & non-metals

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Hydrogen, rare gases, & non-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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Hydrogen, rare gases, & non-metals?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Hydrogen, rare gases, & non-metals are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Hydrogen, rare gases, & non-metals?

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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Hydrogen, rare gases, & non-metals?

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.

How should I document Hydrogen, rare gases, & non-metals sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Hydrogen, rare gases, & non-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.
