Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3814 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3814

It includes Organic solvents & thinners

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Organic solvents & thinners?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Organic solvents & thinners are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

How should I document Organic solvents & thinners sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Organic solvents & thinners 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Organic solvents & thinners?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Organic solvents & thinners?

Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Organic solvents & thinners?

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.

If I repair and return Organic solvents & thinners, 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.
