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. ### If I repair and return Unwrought Lead, 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. ### How should I document Unwrought Lead sent for job work? Use a delivery challan for sending Unwrought Lead 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. ### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Unwrought Lead? 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. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Unwrought Lead? 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 Unwrought Lead? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 7801 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
