## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 4811

It includes Coated paper

### How should I document Coated paper sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Coated paper 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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Coated paper?

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.

### How are warranty replacements of Coated paper 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.

### Any import/export nuance for Coated paper?

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.

### If I repair and return Coated paper, 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Coated paper?

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.
