FAQs for Sub Chapter 8440

What products are classified under HSN 8440

It includes Bookbinding Machinery

How should I document Bookbinding Machinery sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Bookbinding Machinery 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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Bookbinding Machinery?

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

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Bookbinding Machinery?

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.

If I repair and return Bookbinding 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.

What should my invoice and records include for Bookbinding 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.
