Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8707 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8707

It includes Motor vehicle bodies

Do spares or accessories of Motor vehicle bodies follow the same HSN?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Motor vehicle bodies?

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

Any special steps when selling Motor vehicle bodies through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

If I repair and return Motor vehicle bodies, 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 should my invoice and records include for Motor vehicle bodies?

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.
