Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3304 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3304

It includes Beauty/makeup preparations & skin care

How are warranty replacements of Beauty/makeup preparations & skin care 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Beauty/makeup preparations & skin care?

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.

What should my invoice and records include for Beauty/makeup preparations & skin care?

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 Beauty/makeup preparations & skin care?

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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Beauty/makeup preparations & skin care?

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.
