## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 5510

It includes Artificial staple fibre yarn

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Artificial staple fibre yarn?

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.

### If I repair and return Artificial staple fibre 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Artificial staple fibre yarn?

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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Artificial staple fibre 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.

### How should I document Artificial staple fibre yarn sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Artificial staple fibre yarn 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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Artificial staple fibre yarn?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Artificial staple fibre yarn is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.
