## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 5303

It includes Jute and bast fibers

### How are warranty replacements of Jute and bast fibers 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.

### If I repair and return Jute and bast fibers, 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.

### Do spares or accessories of Jute and bast fibers 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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Jute and bast fibers?

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.

### Any special steps when selling Jute and bast fibers 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.
