Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8472 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8472

It includes Other Office Machines

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Other Office Machines?

If your outward supply of Other Office 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.

Any import/export nuance for Other Office Machines?

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 are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Other Office 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.

What should my invoice and records include for Other Office 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Other Office 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.
