FAQs for Sub Chapter 8901
Do spares or accessories of Cruise & Cargo Ships 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.
If I repair and return Cruise & Cargo Ships, 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.
Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Cruise & Cargo Ships?
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.
Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Cruise & Cargo Ships?
Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Cruise & Cargo Ships are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Cruise & Cargo Ships?
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.
