HS codes
Gems exports fall under HS 7102-7103. 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 from the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC).
- Kimberley Process Certificate for rough diamonds; conflict-free sourcing documentation is standard buyer due diligence.
- Certification/grading report (e.g. GIA or an equivalent recognised lab) for higher-value stones.
- Insurance and secure-courier shipping are the norm for this category, not standard freight.
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 gems 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 gems export guide.
Finding buyers
The reliable method: identify companies that already import gems 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 export buyers or how customs trade data works.
