What products are classified under HSN 3811

It includes Additives for mineral oils & liquids

If your outward supply of Additives for mineral oils & liquids 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 Additives for mineral oils & liquids 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.
