Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 4706 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 4706

It includes Cellulosic paper pulps

How are warranty replacements of Cellulosic paper pulps 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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Cellulosic paper pulps?

If your outward supply of Cellulosic paper pulps is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

Do spares or accessories of Cellulosic paper pulps 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.

If I repair and return Cellulosic paper pulps, 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 Cellulosic paper pulps?

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.
