## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2816

It includes Magnesium & strontium compounds

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Magnesium & strontium compounds?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Magnesium & strontium compounds 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.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Magnesium & strontium compounds?

If your outward supply of Magnesium & strontium compounds is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Magnesium & strontium compounds?

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.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Magnesium & strontium compounds?

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.

### What should my invoice and records include for Magnesium & strontium compounds?

Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.
