Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2916 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2916

It includes Unsaturated acids

What misclassification mistakes happen with Unsaturated acids?

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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Unsaturated acids?

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 import/export nuance for Unsaturated acids?

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 Unsaturated acids?

If your outward supply of Unsaturated acids 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Unsaturated acids?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.

What should my invoice and records include for Unsaturated acids?

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.
