## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 5911

It includes Technical textile products

### Any import/export nuance for Technical textile products?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Technical textile products?

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

### If I repair and return Technical textile products, 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.

### Do spares or accessories of Technical textile products 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Technical textile products?

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.
