## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 3502

It includes Albumins & protein derivatives

### How should I document Albumins & protein derivatives sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Albumins & protein derivatives 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Albumins & protein derivatives?

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.

### If I repair and return Albumins & protein derivatives, how should I charge GST?

Repair/service is a service supply (SAC). Parts and materials used are goods and may be billed separately with HSN. Mention both lines clearly to avoid mixing service and goods values.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Albumins & protein derivatives?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Albumins & protein derivatives 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.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Albumins & protein derivatives?

If your outward supply of Albumins & protein derivatives 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.
