What products are classified under HSN 4905

It includes Maps and hydrographic charts

What misclassification mistakes happen with Maps and hydrographic charts?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Maps and hydrographic charts?

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

How are warranty replacements of Maps and hydrographic charts 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.

If I repair and return Maps and hydrographic charts, how should I charge GST?

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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Maps and hydrographic charts?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Maps and hydrographic charts?

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.
