## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8462

It includes Metal forging & die-stamping machines

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Metal forging & die-stamping machines?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Metal forging & die-stamping machines 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Metal forging & die-stamping machines?

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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Metal forging & die-stamping 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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Metal forging & die-stamping machines?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Metal forging & die-stamping machines?

If your outward supply of Metal forging & die-stamping machines 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.
