Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Synthetic staple fibre fabrics are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding. ### How are warranty replacements of Synthetic staple fibre 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. ### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Synthetic staple fibre fabrics? 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. ### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Synthetic staple fibre fabrics? If your outward supply of Synthetic staple fibre fabrics is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Synthetic staple fibre 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. ### If I repair and return Synthetic staple fibre 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 5512 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
