Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8104 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8104

It includes Magnesium articles

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Magnesium articles?

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.

How are warranty replacements of Magnesium 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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Magnesium articles?

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

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Magnesium articles?

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.
