## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8210

It includes Food preparation appliances

### How should I document Food preparation appliances sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Food preparation appliances 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 I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Food preparation appliances?

If your outward supply of Food preparation appliances is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Food preparation appliances?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Food preparation appliances is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

### How are warranty replacements of Food preparation appliances 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.

### Any import/export nuance for Food preparation appliances?

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.
