## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8716

It includes Trailers & non-propelled vehicles

### How should I document Trailers & non-propelled vehicles sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Trailers & non-propelled vehicles 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 Trailers & non-propelled vehicles?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Trailers & non-propelled vehicles 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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Trailers & non-propelled vehicles?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Trailers & non-propelled vehicles?

Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Trailers & non-propelled vehicles?

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.
