What products are classified under HSN 3213

It includes Artists’ colors and paints

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Artists’ colors and paints?

If your outward supply of Artists’ colors and paints 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Artists’ colors and paints?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Artists’ colors and paints are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

What should my invoice and records include for Artists’ colors and paints?

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.

Any special steps when selling Artists’ colors and paints 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Artists’ colors and paints?

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.
