Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8544 and GST compliance.
It includes Insulated electric wire
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.
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.
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.
Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Insulated electric wire are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
Use a delivery challan for sending Insulated electric wire 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.
