## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 6905

It includes Ceramic roofing & chimney goods

### Any import/export nuance for Ceramic roofing & chimney goods?

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.

### Any special steps when selling Ceramic roofing & chimney goods 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.

### If I repair and return Ceramic roofing & chimney goods, 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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Ceramic roofing & chimney goods?

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 misclassification mistakes happen with Ceramic roofing & chimney goods?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.
