## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 9007

It includes Cinematographic cameras

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Cinematographic cameras?

If your outward supply of Cinematographic cameras is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Cinematographic cameras?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Cinematographic cameras 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 import/export nuance for Cinematographic cameras?

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.

### How should I document Cinematographic cameras sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Cinematographic cameras 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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Cinematographic cameras?

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.
