## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 7601

It includes Unwrought aluminium

### How should I document Unwrought aluminium sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Unwrought aluminium 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 Unwrought aluminium?

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

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Unwrought aluminium?

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

### Any special steps when selling Unwrought aluminium 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.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Unwrought aluminium?

If your outward supply of Unwrought aluminium 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.

### If I repair and return Unwrought aluminium, 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.
