Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns. ### If I repair and return Animal guts & bladders, how should I charge GST? Repair/service is a service supply (SAC).

Mention both lines clearly to avoid mixing service and goods values. ### How are warranty replacements of Animal guts & bladders handled? If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability. ### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Animal guts & bladders? Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Animal guts & bladders is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice.
