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. ### Any special steps when selling Vegetable alkaloids & derivatives 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. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Vegetable alkaloids & derivatives? 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 Vegetable alkaloids & derivatives? Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Vegetable alkaloids & derivatives are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding. ### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Vegetable alkaloids & derivatives? If your outward supply of Vegetable alkaloids & derivatives is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43. ### Do spares or accessories of Vegetable alkaloids & derivatives follow the same HSN? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 2939 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
