Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 4704 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 4704

It includes Sulphite wood pulp

How should I document Sulphite wood pulp sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Sulphite wood pulp 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.

Any import/export nuance for Sulphite wood pulp?

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 Sulphite wood pulp?

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

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Sulphite wood pulp?

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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Sulphite wood pulp?

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.
