Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8423 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8423

It includes Weighing Machinery

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Weighing Machinery?

If your outward supply of Weighing Machinery 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Weighing Machinery?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Weighing Machinery?

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 Weighing Machinery 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Weighing Machinery?

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

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Weighing Machinery?

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.
