Identify whether the product is a book or promotional\/informational printed matter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is important because the GST rate can differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A conventional printed book is Nil-rated, while a brochure or leaflet generally attracts 5% GST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Check whether it is supplied in single sheets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within HSN 4901, printed matter in single sheets is separately classified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>49011010<\/strong> \u2013 Printed books<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>49011020<\/strong> \u2013 Pamphlets, booklets, brochures and leaflets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Check whether it is a dictionary or encyclopaedia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dictionaries and encyclopaedias have their own tariff item:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>49019100<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Distinguish books from advertising material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every printed item belongs under HSN 4901.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advertising materials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commercial catalogues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Posters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">can fall under <strong>HSN 4911<\/strong> instead of 4901.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The product&#8217;s actual purpose and format should be checked before assigning the HSN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Do Not Apply One GST Rate to the Entire 4901 Heading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most important tax distinction on this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
