## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 3909

It includes Primary amino-resins

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Primary amino-resins?

If your outward supply of Primary amino-resins 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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Primary amino-resins?

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 misclassification mistakes happen with Primary amino-resins?

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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Primary amino-resins?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Primary amino-resins 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.

### Do spares or accessories of Primary amino-resins 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.
