## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 7210

It includes Flat Steel (>600 mm)

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Flat Steel (>600 mm)?

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 Flat Steel (>600 mm)?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Flat Steel (>600 mm) 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.

### How are warranty replacements of Flat Steel (>600 mm) 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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Flat Steel (>600 mm)?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Flat Steel (>600 mm) is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Flat Steel (>600 mm)?

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.
