## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 7213

It includes Wood pulp products

### Any special steps when selling Wood pulp products 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.

### How should I document Wood pulp products sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Wood pulp products 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 Wood pulp products?

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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Wood pulp products?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Wood pulp products?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Wood pulp products are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
