Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 6505 and GST compliance.
What products are classified under HSN 6505
It includes Hats, textile headgear, hairnets
Any import/export nuance for Hats, textile headgear, hairnets?
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.
How should I document Hats, textile headgear, hairnets sent for job work?
Use a delivery challan for sending Hats, textile headgear, hairnets 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.
Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Hats, textile headgear, hairnets?
If your outward supply of Hats, textile headgear, hairnets 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.
What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Hats, textile headgear, hairnets?
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.
What should my invoice and records include for Hats, textile headgear, hairnets?
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.
Any special steps when selling Hats, textile headgear, hairnets 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.
