## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 7326

It includes Other iron/steel articles

### Any import/export nuance for Other iron/steel articles?

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 should I document Other iron/steel articles sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Other iron/steel articles 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Other iron/steel articles?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Other iron/steel articles are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### Any special steps when selling Other iron/steel articles through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Other iron/steel articles?

Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Other iron/steel articles?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Other iron/steel articles 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.
