Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3822 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3822

It includes Diagnostic reagents

What misclassification mistakes happen with Diagnostic reagents?

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 Diagnostic reagents?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Diagnostic reagents follow the same 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Diagnostic reagents?

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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Diagnostic reagents?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.
