Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8446 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8446

It includes Weaving machines

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Weaving machines?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Weaving machines?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Weaving machines 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.

What should my invoice and records include for Weaving machines?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Weaving machines?

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