## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 3826

It includes Biodiesel mixtures

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Biodiesel mixtures?

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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Biodiesel mixtures?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Biodiesel mixtures?

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

### What should my invoice and records include for Biodiesel mixtures?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Biodiesel mixtures 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.
