FAQs for Sub Chapter 8512

What products are classified under HSN 8512

It includes Lighting & Signaling Equipment

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Lighting & Signaling Equipment?

If your outward supply of Lighting & Signaling Equipment 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Lighting & Signaling Equipment?

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.

How should I document Lighting & Signaling Equipment sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Lighting & Signaling Equipment 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.

Any import/export nuance for Lighting & Signaling Equipment?

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 misclassification mistakes happen with Lighting & Signaling Equipment?

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.
