Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3808 and GST compliance.
It includes Agricultural pesticides
Use a delivery challan for sending Agricultural pesticides 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.
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.
Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.
Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Agricultural pesticides are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
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.
