Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2839 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2839

It includes Silicates: Alkali metal silicates

How are warranty replacements of Silicates: Alkali metal silicates 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Silicates: Alkali metal silicates?

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.
