Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3202 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3202

It includes Synthetic tanning substances

How should I document Synthetic tanning substances sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Synthetic tanning substances 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 Synthetic tanning substances?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Synthetic tanning substances 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 Synthetic tanning substances?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Synthetic tanning substances?

If your outward supply of Synthetic tanning substances 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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Synthetic tanning substances?

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.
