Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8486 and GST compliance.
It includes Semiconductor Manufacturing 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.
If your outward supply of Semiconductor Manufacturing 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.
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.
Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Semiconductor Manufacturing Machines are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
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.
