## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 6402

It includes Rubber footwear

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Rubber footwear?

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.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Rubber footwear?

If your outward supply of Rubber footwear is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Rubber footwear?

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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Rubber footwear?

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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Rubber footwear?

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.
