Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 3305 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3305

It includes Preparations for use on the hair

How should I document Preparations for use on the hair sent for job work?

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.
