Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3801 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3801

It includes Artificial graphite products

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Artificial graphite products?

If your outward supply of Artificial graphite products 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 are warranty replacements of Artificial graphite products handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.

Any import/export nuance for Artificial graphite products?

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.

What should my invoice and records include for Artificial graphite products?

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.

How should I document Artificial graphite products sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Artificial graphite products 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.
