## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 5509

It includes Synthetic fiber yarn

### If I repair and return Synthetic fiber yarn, 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.

### Any import/export nuance for Synthetic fiber yarn?

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.

### How are warranty replacements of Synthetic fiber yarn 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Synthetic fiber yarn?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Synthetic fiber yarn are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Synthetic fiber yarn?

Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.
