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. ### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Motor vehicle bodies? The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in. ### What should my invoice and records include for Motor vehicle bodies? Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail. ### If I repair and return Motor vehicle bodies, 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. ### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Motor vehicle bodies? Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Motor vehicle bodies are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 5701 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
