What products are classified under HSN 3210

It includes Paints & Varnishes

How are warranty replacements of Paints & Varnishes handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Paints & Varnishes?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Paints & Varnishes are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Paints & Varnishes?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Paints & Varnishes?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Paints & Varnishes is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

What should my invoice and records include for Paints & Varnishes?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Paints & Varnishes?

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.
