Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3506 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3506

It includes Prepared glues & adhesives for retail

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Prepared glues & adhesives for retail?

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.

If I repair and return Prepared glues & adhesives for retail, 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 Prepared glues & adhesives for retail?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Prepared glues & adhesives for retail 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.

Any special steps when selling Prepared glues & adhesives for retail 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Prepared glues & adhesives for retail?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.
