Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 5908 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 5908

It includes Textile wicks for lamps or stoves

What misclassification mistakes happen with Textile wicks for lamps or stoves?

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.

Any special steps when selling Textile wicks for lamps or stoves 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.

Any import/export nuance for Textile wicks for lamps or stoves?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Textile wicks for lamps or stoves follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Textile wicks for lamps or stoves?

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.
