## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8207

It includes Hand/machine interchangeable tools

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Hand/machine interchangeable tools?

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.

### Any special steps when selling Hand/machine interchangeable tools through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Hand/machine interchangeable tools?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Hand/machine interchangeable tools?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Hand/machine interchangeable tools?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Hand/machine interchangeable tools are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### If I repair and return Hand/machine interchangeable tools, 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.
