## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 3810

It includes Soldering preparations

### How should I document Soldering preparations sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Soldering preparations 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.

### What should my invoice and records include for Soldering preparations?

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 Soldering preparations?

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.

### Any special steps when selling Soldering preparations through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

### How are warranty replacements of Soldering preparations 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.
