HS codes
Art Supplies exports fall under HS 96. Classify precisely — the first six digits are international, the rest are India's ITC-HS extension. Your HS code drives duty, FTA eligibility and the paperwork the buyer's customs will expect.
Export requirements & certifications
- IEC and RCMC (via EPCH or the relevant merchandise EPC).
- Destination product-safety compliance for items marketed to children (e.g. CPSIA/ASTM D-4236 art-material labelling in the US).
- Material safety data and non-toxicity documentation, especially for paints and pigments.
- Buyer sample approval before bulk production.
Requirements change and are buyer- and destination-specific — confirm the current rules with your export promotion council and the buyer before you ship.
Documentation
Every art supplies shipment needs the core set: commercial invoice, packing list, shipping bill, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin (preferential where an FTA applies), and the category-specific certificates above. See the full export documentation checklist and the art supplies export guide.
Finding buyers
The reliable method: identify companies that already import art supplies in your target market from customs data, reach the named procurement contact, and open on the trade signal — not a generic pitch. EximHub does that end to end. Read how to find art supplies buyers, how to find export buyers or how customs trade data works.
