Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8401 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8401

It includes Nuclear reactors

What should my invoice and records include for Nuclear reactors?

Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.

Any special steps when selling Nuclear reactors 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.

How should I document Nuclear reactors sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Nuclear reactors 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.

Any import/export nuance for Nuclear reactors?

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.

If I repair and return Nuclear reactors, 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Nuclear reactors?

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.
