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. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Amide-function compounds? 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 Amide-function compounds? Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Amide-function compounds are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding. ### How should I document Amide-function compounds sent for job work? Use a delivery challan for sending Amide-function compounds 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. ### Any special steps when selling Amide-function compounds through an e‑commerce platform? Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 1605 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
