Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 6812 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 6812

It includes Asbestos articles

What should my invoice and records include for Asbestos articles?

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.

How are warranty replacements of Asbestos articles 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.

Any import/export nuance for Asbestos articles?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Asbestos articles?

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 Asbestos articles sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Asbestos articles 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.
