## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 3911

It includes Petroleum resins

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Petroleum resins?

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.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Petroleum 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.

### How should I document Petroleum resins sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Petroleum resins 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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Petroleum resins?

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.

### Any special steps when selling Petroleum resins 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.
