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 Saddlery & Harness Gear, 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. ### Any import/export nuance for Saddlery & Harness Gear? 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. ### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Saddlery & Harness Gear? Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Saddlery & Harness Gear 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 do I bill a kit or combo that includes Saddlery & Harness Gear? 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. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Saddlery & Harness Gear? Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 4201 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
