If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Tungsten articles? 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. ### How should I document Tungsten articles sent for job work? Use a delivery challan for sending Tungsten articles 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 Tungsten articles? Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Tungsten articles are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding. ### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Tungsten articles? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 8101 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
