Spinning mills
Yarn invoices with the count on every line, and cotton bought from ginners on FBR's own scenario.
Textile · FBR
FBR invoicing for textile mills, done right the first time
Yarn and fabric invoices have rules other industries don't. eInvoicePro puts the count, denier or construction, HS code and unit on every line, checks your buyer, and sends each invoice to FBR as you bill.
Who it's for
From yarn to finished fabric
For mills and traders that invoice in kilograms, metres and bales.
Weaving & processing
Grey and finished fabric with its construction, and conversion work billed on the right scenario.
Fabric & garment sellers
High-volume dispatches to registered and unregistered buyers, with every invoice sent to FBR.
The rules
What a textile invoice must show
On top of the usual details, FBR checks these on every yarn and fabric invoice.
| Field | What FBR expects | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Description | For yarn and fabric, the count, denier and construction, as section 23 of the Sales Tax Act requires | 20/1 carded cotton yarn; 150D polyester filament yarn; grey fabric 76×68, 30×30, 63" |
| HS code | The code from FBR's list for each line | Picked from FBR's list in eInvoicePro |
| Unit | A unit FBR accepts for that HS code | Kilograms for cotton yarn |
| Sale type | The FBR scenario that fits the sale | SN009 for spinners buying from ginners, SN016 for processing and conversion |
| Buyer | A registered buyer's NTN, checked before you send | Checked in eInvoicePro as you pick the buyer |
eInvoicePro keeps the description, HS code and unit on each product, so your team never types them again. See the full sales tax invoice format.
Why switch
Typing invoices by hand vs eInvoicePro
By hand
Where textile invoices go wrong
- Each clerk writes the count or construction differently
- HS codes copied from last month's invoice
- Invoices rejected for the wrong unit
- A wrong buyer NTN found only when FBR rejects it
- No clear record of what reached FBR

FAQ
What textile businesses ask
Invoice rules, FBR scenarios and getting started.
Do textile invoices need the count and construction?
Yes. Section 23 of the Sales Tax Act 1990 says the description of textile yarn and fabric must include its count, denier and construction, along with the quantity. eInvoicePro saves these on each product, so they are on every invoice.
Which FBR scenario do spinners use when buying from ginners?
SN009, which FBR sets aside for cotton spinners' purchases from cotton ginners. eInvoicePro has every FBR scenario, from SN001 to SN028.
How do we invoice processing or conversion work?
With FBR's SN016 scenario, for processing and conversion of goods. You set it once on the product, and eInvoicePro uses it on every invoice after that.
Can we upload invoices from Excel?
Yes. Bulk invoicing takes a whole day's dispatches from one Excel file, checks every row and sends them to FBR.
Can eInvoicePro connect to our ERP?
Yes. Your ERP sends each invoice to eInvoicePro through our API, and gets FBR's invoice number and QR code back for printing.
What is the penalty for not sending invoices to FBR?
From 1 July 2026, each invoice not issued as required costs Rs 25,000 or 5% of the tax, whichever is higher. A business that should send invoices to FBR and doesn't can be fined up to Rs 1 million, then up to Rs 5 million a month later, and its premises can be sealed.
Do spinning mills need FBR cameras?
Yes, by 15 November 2026. STGO 30 of 2026 adds cameras where loose, opened or blended fibre is fed, on top of the cotton bale monitoring already in place. See the FBR production monitoring deadlines.
