Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 7603 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 7603

It includes Aluminium powders & flakes

Any import/export nuance for Aluminium powders & flakes?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Aluminium powders & flakes?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Aluminium powders & flakes 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Aluminium powders & flakes?

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

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Aluminium powders & flakes?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Aluminium powders & flakes?

If your outward supply of Aluminium powders & flakes 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.
