It includes Corrugated Or Creped Paper

### Any special steps when selling Corrugated Or Creped Paper 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.

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.

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Corrugated Or Creped Paper?

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