## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 5604

It includes Rubber-coated textile yarns

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Rubber-coated textile yarns?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Rubber-coated textile yarns is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

### How should I document Rubber-coated textile yarns sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Rubber-coated textile yarns 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Rubber-coated textile yarns?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Rubber-coated textile yarns are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### If I repair and return Rubber-coated textile yarns, 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.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Rubber-coated textile yarns?

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.
