Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2852 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2852

It includes Mercury compounds

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Mercury compounds?

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 should my invoice and records include for Mercury compounds?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Mercury compounds?

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

How should I document Mercury compounds sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Mercury compounds 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 are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Mercury compounds?

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.

If I repair and return Mercury compounds, 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.
