Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 9610 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 9610

It includes Slates & Boards with writing surfaces

How should I document Slates & Boards with writing surfaces sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Slates & Boards with writing surfaces 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.

If I repair and return Slates & Boards with writing surfaces, 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.

Any import/export nuance for Slates & Boards with writing surfaces?

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.

What should my invoice and records include for Slates & Boards with writing surfaces?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Slates & Boards with writing surfaces?

If your outward supply of Slates & Boards with writing surfaces 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.
