## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2819

It includes Chromium oxides & hydroxides

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Chromium oxides & hydroxides?

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.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Chromium oxides & hydroxides?

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.

### How are warranty replacements of Chromium oxides & hydroxides 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.

### If I repair and return Chromium oxides & hydroxides, 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.

### What should my invoice and records include for Chromium oxides & hydroxides?

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.
