Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8535 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8535

It includes Electrical circuits protection

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Electrical circuits protection?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Electrical circuits protection?

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.

Any import/export nuance for Electrical circuits protection?

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 should my invoice and records include for Electrical circuits protection?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Electrical circuits protection?

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

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Electrical circuits protection?

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.
