## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 4602

It includes Basketwork & Wickerwork

### Do spares or accessories of Basketwork & Wickerwork 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Basketwork & Wickerwork?

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.

### If I repair and return Basketwork & Wickerwork, 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 should I document Basketwork & Wickerwork sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Basketwork & Wickerwork 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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Basketwork & Wickerwork?

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