Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 6213 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 6213

It includes H&kerchiefs

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for H&kerchiefs?

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.

Do spares or accessories of H&kerchiefs 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving H&kerchiefs?

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

How should I document H&kerchiefs sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending H&kerchiefs 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.

If I repair and return H&kerchiefs, 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.
