## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 3504

It includes Peptones & Protein Derivatives

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Peptones & Protein Derivatives?

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

### Do spares or accessories of Peptones & Protein Derivatives 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 Peptones & Protein Derivatives?

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.

### How should I document Peptones & Protein Derivatives sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Peptones & 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.

### If I repair and return Peptones & 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.
