## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 5006

It includes Metal working machines

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Metal working 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Metal working machines?

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

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Metal working machines?

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

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Metal working machines?

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.

### How are warranty replacements of Metal working machines 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.
