Use a delivery challan for sending Woven pile fabrics 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. ### If I repair and return Woven pile fabrics, 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. ### How are warranty replacements of Woven pile fabrics 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. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Woven pile fabrics? 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. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Woven pile fabrics? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 5511 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
