## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 5004

It includes Ion-exchangers

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Ion-exchangers?

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

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Ion-exchangers?

If your outward supply of Ion-exchangers 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Ion-exchangers?

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.

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.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Ion-exchangers?

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 should my invoice and records include for Ion-exchangers?

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.
