Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2808 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2808

It includes Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids 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.

If I repair and return Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids, 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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids?

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 Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
