## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 6602

It includes Walking sticks and whips

### Do spares or accessories of Walking sticks and whips 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 packaging or branding change how GST applies to Walking sticks and whips?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Walking sticks and whips is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Walking sticks and whips?

If your outward supply of Walking sticks and whips 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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Walking sticks and whips?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Walking sticks and whips are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### How should I document Walking sticks and whips sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Walking sticks and whips 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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Walking sticks and whips?

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.
