Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3603 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3603

It includes Safety fuses & detonators

If I repair and return Safety fuses & detonators, 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Safety fuses & detonators?

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 should my invoice and records include for Safety fuses & detonators?

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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Safety fuses & detonators?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Safety fuses & detonators?

If your outward supply of Safety fuses & detonators 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Safety fuses & detonators?

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.
