What products are classified under HSN 3203

It includes Vegetable or animal dye extracts

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Vegetable or animal dye extracts?

If your outward supply of Vegetable or animal dye extracts 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.

Any special steps when selling Vegetable or animal dye extracts 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.

Do spares or accessories of Vegetable or animal dye extracts follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Vegetable or animal dye extracts?

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.

What should my invoice and records include for Vegetable or animal dye extracts?

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.
