Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 7905 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 7905

It includes Zinc plates, sheets, strip, & foil

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Zinc plates, sheets, strip, & foil?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Zinc plates, sheets, strip, & foil are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Zinc plates, sheets, strip, & foil?

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 Zinc plates, sheets, strip, & foil?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Zinc plates, sheets, strip, & foil 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.

How should I document Zinc plates, sheets, strip, & foil sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Zinc plates, sheets, strip, & foil 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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Zinc plates, sheets, strip, & foil?

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.
