Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HSN code for radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes?
The HSN code for radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes is 2844, under Chapter 28 (Industrial gases and inorganic chemicals).
What is the GST rate on radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes?
It depends on the specific item: thorium oxalate, enriched kbf4 (enriched potassium fluroborate), enriched elemental boron, nuclear fuel is 5%; anaesthetics, potassium iodate, iodine, steam is 5%; micronutrients, which are covered under serial number 1(g) of schedule 1, part (a) of the fertilizer control order, 1985 and are manufactured by the manufacturers which are registered under the fertilizer control order, 1985 is 5%; all inorganic chemicals [other than those specified in notification th no.10/2025- central tax (rate) dated 17 september 2025 or other schedules of this notification] is 18%.
How many digits of the HSN code go on a GST invoice?
It depends on your turnover in the previous financial year: businesses above ₹5 crore generally show 6 digits (8 for certain specified goods), and smaller businesses show 4 digits on B2B invoices. Check the current e-invoicing/HSN notification for the exact threshold that applies to you.
