Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2818 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2818

It includes Artificial corundum & alumina

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Artificial corundum & alumina?

If your outward supply of Artificial corundum & alumina 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.

Any import/export nuance for Artificial corundum & alumina?

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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Artificial corundum & alumina?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Artificial corundum & alumina?

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 Artificial corundum & alumina sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Artificial corundum & alumina 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Artificial corundum & alumina?

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.
