Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 5608 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 5608

It includes Textile nets & fishing gear

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Textile nets & fishing gear?

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 special steps when selling Textile nets & fishing gear through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Textile nets & fishing gear?

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 nets & fishing gear?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Textile nets & fishing gear?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Textile nets & fishing gear are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
