Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2806 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2806

It includes Hydrochloric acid

Any import/export nuance for Hydrochloric acid?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.

How are warranty replacements of Hydrochloric acid 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.

Any special steps when selling Hydrochloric acid 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Hydrochloric acid?

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 should I document Hydrochloric acid sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Hydrochloric acid 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.
