## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 4418

It includes Wood joinery & carpentry

### How should I document Wood joinery & carpentry sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Wood joinery & carpentry 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Wood joinery & carpentry?

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

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Wood joinery & carpentry?

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.

### Any import/export nuance for Wood joinery & carpentry?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Wood joinery & carpentry 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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Wood joinery & carpentry?

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