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. ### If I repair and return Yarn & Twine Articles, 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 should my invoice and records include for Yarn & Twine Articles? Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail. ### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Yarn & Twine Articles? 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. ### Any special steps when selling Yarn & Twine Articles 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 Yarn & Twine Articles? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 5609 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
