## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 7217

It includes Iron/non-alloy steel wire

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Iron/non-alloy steel wire?

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.

### How should I document Iron/non-alloy steel wire sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Iron/non-alloy steel wire 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.

### Do spares or accessories of Iron/non-alloy steel wire 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.

### Any import/export nuance for Iron/non-alloy steel wire?

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 are warranty replacements of Iron/non-alloy steel wire 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.
