## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8542

It includes Electronic integrated circuits

### What should my invoice and records include for Electronic integrated circuits?

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.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Electronic integrated circuits?

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 are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Electronic integrated circuits?

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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Electronic integrated circuits?

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

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Electronic integrated circuits?

If your outward supply of Electronic integrated circuits 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.
