Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 7208 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 7208

It includes Hot-rolled iron & steel products

What misclassification mistakes happen with Hot-rolled iron & steel products?

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 should my invoice and records include for Hot-rolled iron & steel products?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Hot-rolled iron & steel products?

If your outward supply of Hot-rolled iron & steel products 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.

Any import/export nuance for Hot-rolled iron & steel products?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Hot-rolled iron & steel products?

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.
