## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2911

It includes Acetals & derivatives

### How should I document Acetals & derivatives sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Acetals & derivatives 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Acetals & derivatives?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Acetals & derivatives 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 Acetals & 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.

### Any import/export nuance for Acetals & 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.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Acetals & derivatives?

If your outward supply of Acetals & 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.
