Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 7606 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 7606

It includes Aluminium sheets and strips

Any import/export nuance for Aluminium 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.

Do spares or accessories of Aluminium sheets and strips 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 sheets and strips?

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

What misclassification mistakes happen with Aluminium sheets and strips?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Aluminium sheets and strips?

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.
