Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3604 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3604

It includes Fireworks & pyrotechnics

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Fireworks & pyrotechnics?

If your outward supply of Fireworks & pyrotechnics 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Fireworks & pyrotechnics?

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 Fireworks & pyrotechnics?

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.

Any import/export nuance for Fireworks & pyrotechnics?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.

Do spares or accessories of Fireworks & pyrotechnics 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.
