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. ### Any special steps when selling Wool, combed or not 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. ### How should I document Wool, combed or not sent for job work? Use a delivery challan for sending Wool, combed or not 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. ### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Wool, combed or not? 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. ### What should my invoice and records include for Wool, combed or not? Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail. ### If I repair and return Wool, combed or not, 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 5101 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
