Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 6803 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 6803

It includes Worked slate articles

Any special steps when selling Worked slate articles 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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Worked slate articles?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Worked slate articles?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Worked slate articles 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Worked slate articles?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Worked slate articles 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.
