## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 3919

It includes Self-adhesive plastics

### What should my invoice and records include for Self-adhesive plastics?

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.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Self-adhesive plastics?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Self-adhesive plastics?

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

### How are warranty replacements of Self-adhesive plastics handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Self-adhesive plastics?

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

### If I repair and return Self-adhesive plastics, how should I charge GST?

Repair/service is a service supply (SAC). Parts and materials used are goods and may be billed separately with HSN. Mention both lines clearly to avoid mixing service and goods values.
