Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 5208 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 5208

It includes Cotton fabrics over 85% cotton

Do spares or accessories of Cotton fabrics over 85% cotton 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.

How are warranty replacements of Cotton fabrics over 85% cotton 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.

What should my invoice and records include for Cotton fabrics over 85% cotton?

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 Cotton fabrics over 85% cotton, 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 Cotton fabrics over 85% cotton?

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.
