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. ### Any special steps when selling All machinery items through an e‑commerce platform? Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns. ### How should I document All machinery items sent for job work? Use a delivery challan for sending All machinery items 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. ### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving All machinery items? Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of All machinery items are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding. ### What should my invoice and records include for All machinery items? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 9801 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
