Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8449 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8449

It includes Felt & Nonwoven Machinery

How should I document Felt & Nonwoven Machinery sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Felt & Nonwoven Machinery 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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Felt & Nonwoven Machinery?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Felt & Nonwoven Machinery is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

If I repair and return Felt & Nonwoven Machinery, 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 Felt & Nonwoven Machinery?

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.

Any special steps when selling Felt & Nonwoven Machinery 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.
