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. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Nickel metallurgy products? 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. ### What should my invoice and records include for Nickel metallurgy products? 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. ### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Nickel metallurgy products? If your outward supply of Nickel metallurgy products 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. ### Any special steps when selling Nickel metallurgy products 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. ### Do spares or accessories of Nickel metallurgy products 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 7501 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
