## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 6911

It includes Tableware, Kitchenware & Porcelain

### Do spares or accessories of Tableware, Kitchenware & Porcelain 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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Tableware, Kitchenware & Porcelain?

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 Tableware, Kitchenware & Porcelain?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Tableware, Kitchenware & Porcelain?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Tableware, Kitchenware & Porcelain are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Tableware, Kitchenware & Porcelain?

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.
