## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8456

It includes Laser Removal Tools

### How should I document Laser Removal Tools sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Laser Removal Tools 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.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Laser Removal Tools?

If your outward supply of Laser Removal Tools 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.

### Any import/export nuance for Laser Removal Tools?

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 Laser Removal Tools?

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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Laser Removal Tools?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Laser Removal Tools 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.
