Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 9606 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 9606

It includes Buttons & fasteners

Any import/export nuance for Buttons & fasteners?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.

Any special steps when selling Buttons & fasteners 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.

If I repair and return Buttons & fasteners, 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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Buttons & fasteners?

If your outward supply of Buttons & fasteners is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

How are warranty replacements of Buttons & fasteners handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Buttons & fasteners?

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.
