## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8532

It includes Electrical Capacitors

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Electrical Capacitors?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Electrical Capacitors?

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

### Any special steps when selling Electrical Capacitors 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.

### If I repair and return Electrical Capacitors, 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.

### Any import/export nuance for Electrical Capacitors?

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 Electrical Capacitors?

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.
