## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 3902

It includes Polypropylene polymers

### Any special steps when selling Polypropylene polymers through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Polypropylene polymers?

If your outward supply of Polypropylene polymers 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 do I bill a kit or combo that includes Polypropylene polymers?

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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Polypropylene polymers?

Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Polypropylene polymers?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Polypropylene polymers 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.
