## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8474

It includes Sorting, grinding & mixing Machinery

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Sorting, grinding & mixing Machinery?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.

### Any import/export nuance for Sorting, grinding & mixing Machinery?

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.

### If I repair and return Sorting, grinding & mixing 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.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Sorting, grinding & mixing Machinery?

If your outward supply of Sorting, grinding & mixing Machinery 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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Sorting, grinding & mixing Machinery?

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.
