Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 5601 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 5601

It includes Textile Wadding

How should I document Textile Wadding sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Textile Wadding 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.

How are warranty replacements of Textile Wadding 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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Textile Wadding?

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.

Any import/export nuance for Textile Wadding?

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 do I bill a kit or combo that includes Textile Wadding?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Textile Wadding?

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.
