Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Ceramic pipes & fittings? 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 Ceramic pipes & fittings? Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Ceramic pipes & fittings is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice.

Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule.
