Things to check before you bill
- The fibre decides the heading, not the look: a "silk-look" polyester is 5407, not 5007.
- For blends, use the fibre that is greatest by weight — the mill invoice or fabric tag shows the composition.
- Fabric sold by the metre is taxed at the flat fabric rate with no ₹2,500 limit, however costly it is.
- Once fabric is stitched into a garment or made-up article, it moves to chapter 61, 62 or 63 and the per-piece limit applies.
