FAQs for Sub Chapter 5603

What products are classified under HSN 5603

It includes Nonwoven fabrics

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Nonwoven 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.

How are warranty replacements of Nonwoven 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Nonwoven fabrics?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Nonwoven fabrics are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Nonwoven fabrics?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Nonwoven fabrics?

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.
