Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 0505 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 0505

It includes Feathers & down for preservation

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Feathers & down for preservation?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Feathers & down for preservation?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Feathers & down for preservation are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

If I repair and return Feathers & down for preservation, 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.

Do spares or accessories of Feathers & down for preservation follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.

Any import/export nuance for Feathers & down for preservation?

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.
