## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 7409

It includes Copper sheets and strips

### If I repair and return Copper sheets and strips, how should I charge GST?

Repair/service is a service supply (SAC). Parts and materials used are goods and may be billed separately with HSN. Mention both lines clearly to avoid mixing service and goods values.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Copper sheets and strips?

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.

### Any import/export nuance for Copper sheets and strips?

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 do I bill a kit or combo that includes Copper sheets and strips?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Copper sheets and strips?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Copper sheets and strips are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
