Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8105 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8105

It includes Cobalt products & scrap

Any import/export nuance for Cobalt products & scrap?

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 Cobalt products & scrap 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 are warranty replacements of Cobalt products & scrap handled?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Cobalt products & scrap?

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

How should I document Cobalt products & scrap sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Cobalt products & scrap 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Cobalt products & scrap?

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.
