## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 3812

It includes Rubber/plastic compound accelerators

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Rubber/plastic compound accelerators?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Rubber/plastic compound accelerators 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.

### What should my invoice and records include for Rubber/plastic compound accelerators?

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.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Rubber/plastic compound accelerators?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.

### Any import/export nuance for Rubber/plastic compound accelerators?

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.

### If I repair and return Rubber/plastic compound accelerators, how should I charge GST?

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.
