Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 6804 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 6804

It includes Grindstones & sharpening tools

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Grindstones & sharpening tools?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Grindstones & sharpening tools 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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Grindstones & sharpening tools?

If your outward supply of Grindstones & sharpening tools is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Grindstones & sharpening tools?

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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Grindstones & sharpening tools?

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.
