## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 9618

It includes Tailors dummies & displays

### How should I document Tailors dummies & displays sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Tailors dummies & displays 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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Tailors dummies & displays?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Tailors dummies & displays follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Tailors dummies & displays?

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.

### If I repair and return Tailors dummies & displays, 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.
