What products are classified under HSN 5204

It includes Cotton sewing thread

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Cotton sewing thread?

If your outward supply of Cotton sewing thread 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Cotton sewing thread?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Cotton sewing thread 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.

Any special steps when selling Cotton sewing thread 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.

What should my invoice and records include for Cotton sewing thread?

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.

How should I document Cotton sewing thread sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Cotton sewing thread 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.
