## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 9022

It includes Apparatus based on X-rays

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Apparatus based on X-rays?

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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Apparatus based on X-rays?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Apparatus based on X-rays 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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Apparatus based on X-rays?

Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Apparatus based on X-rays?

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.

### How should I document Apparatus based on X-rays sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Apparatus based on X-rays 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.
