Things to check before you bill
- Knitted garments are chapter 61, woven garments chapter 62 — check the fabric, not the style.
- Many headings split by who the garment is for: men's and boys' versus women's and girls'.
- The ₹2,500 limit is per piece, on that piece's sale value before GST — never on the bill total.
- A discount shown on the invoice reduces the sale value, so it can move a piece from 18% to 5%.
