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. ### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Waste from iron & steel production? 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. ### What misclassification mistakes happen with Waste from iron & steel production? 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. ### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Waste from iron & steel production? 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. ### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Waste from iron & steel production? Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Waste from iron & steel production 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 2619 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
