HS codes

Home Appliances exports fall under HS chapter 85. 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 Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council (ESC) or EEPC India, depending on the product.
• BIS registration under India's Compulsory Registration Scheme for the appliance categories it covers, plus the destination's own electrical-safety certification.
• E-Waste (Management) Rules / EPR compliance where applicable.
• Voltage/plug-standard conversion and energy-label compliance for the destination market.

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 home appliances 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 home appliances export guide.

Finding buyers

The reliable method: identify companies that already import home appliances 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 home appliances buyers, how to find export buyers or how customs trade data works.
