Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 4806 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 4806

It includes Specialty Papers

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Specialty Papers?

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

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Specialty Papers?

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.

How are warranty replacements of Specialty Papers 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Specialty Papers?

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.

Any special steps when selling Specialty Papers through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.
