Use a delivery challan for sending Brake friction materials 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. ### What misclassification mistakes happen with Brake friction materials? 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. ### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Brake friction materials? 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. ### How are warranty replacements of Brake friction materials 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. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Brake friction materials? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 6813 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
