## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2833

It includes Sulphates, alums, peroxosulphates

### How should I document Sulphates, alums, peroxosulphates sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Sulphates, alums, peroxosulphates 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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Sulphates, alums, peroxosulphates?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Sulphates, alums, peroxosulphates 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Sulphates, alums, peroxosulphates?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Sulphates, alums, peroxosulphates are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Sulphates, alums, peroxosulphates?

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 should my invoice and records include for Sulphates, alums, peroxosulphates?

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.
