HS codes
Stationery exports fall under HS chapters 48 and 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 (typically through the relevant merchandise/paper EPC).
- Destination product-safety compliance for items marketed to children (e.g. CPSIA in the US).
- FSC or equivalent chain-of-custody certification is increasingly asked for on paper products.
- Buyer-specified private-label/branding and packaging requirements.
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 stationery 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 stationery export guide.
Finding buyers
The reliable method: identify companies that already import stationery 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 stationery buyers, how to find export buyers or how customs trade data works.
