## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2701

It includes Coal briquettes

### How should I document Coal briquettes sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Coal briquettes 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 import/export nuance for Coal briquettes?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.

### How are warranty replacements of Coal briquettes 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Coal briquettes?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Coal briquettes are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Coal briquettes?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Coal briquettes 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.
