Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3606 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3606

It includes Ferro-cerium Alloys

What should my invoice and records include for Ferro-cerium Alloys?

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 Ferro-cerium Alloys?

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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Ferro-cerium Alloys?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Ferro-cerium Alloys 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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Ferro-cerium Alloys?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Ferro-cerium Alloys 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.
