Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2831 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2831

It includes Dithionites & sulphoxylates

How are warranty replacements of Dithionites & sulphoxylates 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Dithionites & sulphoxylates?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Dithionites & sulphoxylates are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Dithionites & sulphoxylates?

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 are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Dithionites & sulphoxylates?

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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Dithionites & sulphoxylates?

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.

How should I document Dithionites & sulphoxylates sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Dithionites & sulphoxylates 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.
