Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 9802 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 9802

It includes Laboratory chemicals

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Laboratory chemicals?

If your outward supply of Laboratory chemicals 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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Laboratory chemicals?

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.

How are warranty replacements of Laboratory chemicals 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.

If I repair and return Laboratory chemicals, 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Laboratory chemicals?

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.
