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

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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Textile extruding machines?

Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.
