Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8480 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8480

It includes Moulding Boxes & Patterns

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Moulding Boxes & Patterns?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Moulding Boxes & Patterns?

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

Any import/export nuance for Moulding Boxes & Patterns?

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 Moulding Boxes & Patterns, 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Moulding Boxes & Patterns?

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 Moulding Boxes & Patterns?

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.
