Sir,

Can you clarify me whether Embroidery work will come under Goods or Services and also I have question about whether it will cover under job work. Give me applicable HSN or SAC

[KASTURI SETHI]

It is goods as already replied. Job work can be got done. Exact HSN depends on the type of textile on which embroidery work is to be done i.e. whether it is cotton, man-made etc.

If you want further clarification, describe the type of cloth.
