Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8428 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8428

It includes Lifting & loading machinery

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Lifting & loading machinery?

If your outward supply of Lifting & loading 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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Lifting & loading machinery?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Lifting & loading machinery 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.

If I repair and return Lifting & loading machinery, 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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Lifting & loading 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.

What should my invoice and records include for Lifting & loading machinery?

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.
