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. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Hydrocarbon derivatives? 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. ### If I repair and return Hydrocarbon derivatives, 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. ### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Hydrocarbon derivatives? 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. ### Any special steps when selling Hydrocarbon derivatives through an e‑commerce platform? Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 2904 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
