## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 7010

It includes Glass containers & closures

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Glass containers & closures?

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.

### If I repair and return Glass containers & closures, 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.

### What should my invoice and records include for Glass containers & closures?

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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Glass containers & closures?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Glass containers & closures?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Glass containers & closures are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Glass containers & closures?

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.
