## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 4402

It includes Silk yarn for retail

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Silk yarn for retail?

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 Silk yarn for retail, 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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Silk yarn for retail?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Silk yarn for retail 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Silk yarn for retail?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Silk yarn for retail are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Silk yarn for retail?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.
