Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice. ### How should I document Apples, pears & quinces sent for job work? Use a delivery challan for sending Apples, pears & quinces to the job worker. Declare movement in your records and reconcile when the goods return. If the job worker raises a service invoice, classify it under SAC; your goods remain under the original HSN. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Apples, pears & quinces? 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. ### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Apples, pears & quinces? Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Apples, pears & quinces are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding. ### How are warranty replacements of Apples, pears & quinces 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 0808 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
