Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8508 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8508

It includes Vacuum Cleaners

How should I document Vacuum Cleaners sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Vacuum Cleaners to the job worker. Declare movement in your records and reconcile when the goods return. If the job worker raises a service invoice, classify it under SAC; your goods remain under the original HSN.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Vacuum Cleaners?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Vacuum Cleaners 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Vacuum Cleaners?

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 reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Vacuum Cleaners?

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

Any import/export nuance for Vacuum Cleaners?

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.
