Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8212 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8212

It includes Razors and blades

If I repair and return Razors and blades, 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.

How should I document Razors and blades sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Razors and blades 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 Razors and blades?

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

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Razors and blades?

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 Razors and blades?

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.
