Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 5511 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 5511

It includes Woven pile fabrics

How should I document Woven pile fabrics sent for job work?

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.
