Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2817 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2817

It includes Zinc oxide & peroxide

Do spares or accessories of Zinc oxide & peroxide 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 do I bill a kit or combo that includes Zinc oxide & peroxide?

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.

If I repair and return Zinc oxide & peroxide, 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.

Any import/export nuance for Zinc oxide & peroxide?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Zinc oxide & peroxide?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Zinc oxide & peroxide 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.
