Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2905 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2905

It includes Acyclic alcohols & derivatives

What misclassification mistakes happen with Acyclic alcohols & derivatives?

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.

Any import/export nuance for Acyclic alcohols & derivatives?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.

If I repair and return Acyclic alcohols & 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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Acyclic alcohols & derivatives?

If your outward supply of Acyclic alcohols & derivatives is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Acyclic alcohols & derivatives?

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.
