## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8712

It includes Non-motorized bicycles

### Any import/export nuance for Non-motorized bicycles?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Non-motorized bicycles?

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

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Non-motorized bicycles?

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.

### If I repair and return Non-motorized bicycles, 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.

### Any special steps when selling Non-motorized bicycles 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.
