## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 7314

It includes Iron or steel cloth & netting

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Iron or steel cloth & netting?

If your outward supply of Iron or steel cloth & netting 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.

### What should my invoice and records include for Iron or steel cloth & netting?

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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Iron or steel cloth & netting?

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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Iron or steel cloth & netting?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Iron or steel cloth & netting 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Iron or steel cloth & netting?

Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Iron or steel cloth & netting?

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.
