## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8106

It includes Iron sections and shapes

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Iron sections and shapes?

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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Iron sections and shapes?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Iron sections and shapes?

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

### Do spares or accessories of Iron sections and shapes 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 Iron sections and shapes sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Iron sections and shapes 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.
