Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 7226 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 7226

It includes Hot-rolled alloy steel

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Hot-rolled alloy steel?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Hot-rolled alloy steel are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Hot-rolled alloy steel?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Hot-rolled alloy steel 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Hot-rolled alloy steel?

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.

Any import/export nuance for Hot-rolled alloy steel?

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 Hot-rolled alloy steel 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.
