## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 9025

It includes Thermometers, Barometers, Hygrometers

### If I repair and return Thermometers, Barometers, Hygrometers, 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.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Thermometers, Barometers, Hygrometers?

If your outward supply of Thermometers, Barometers, Hygrometers 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.

### What should my invoice and records include for Thermometers, Barometers, Hygrometers?

Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.

### Any import/export nuance for Thermometers, Barometers, Hygrometers?

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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Thermometers, Barometers, Hygrometers?

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.
