## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 4006

It includes Unvulcanised rubber products

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Unvulcanised rubber products?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Unvulcanised rubber products is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

### How are warranty replacements of Unvulcanised rubber products 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.

### How should I document Unvulcanised rubber products sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Unvulcanised rubber products 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.

### If I repair and return Unvulcanised rubber products, 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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Unvulcanised rubber products?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Unvulcanised rubber products 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.
