Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8408 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8408

It includes Diesel Engines

Any import/export nuance for Diesel Engines?

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.

What should my invoice and records include for Diesel Engines?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Diesel Engines?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Diesel Engines?

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

Do spares or accessories of Diesel Engines 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.
