Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 7609 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 7609

It includes Duty-free personal items

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Duty-free personal items?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.

What should my invoice and records include for Duty-free personal items?

Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.

If I repair and return Duty-free personal items, 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 misclassification mistakes happen with Duty-free personal items?

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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Duty-free personal items?

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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Duty-free personal items?

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.
