Use a delivery challan for sending Preparations for use on the hair 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. ### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Preparations for use on the hair? 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. ### If I repair and return Preparations for use on the hair, 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. ### What should my invoice and records include for Preparations for use on the hair? 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. ### How are warranty replacements of Preparations for use on the hair 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 3305 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
