Handicrafts
There is no single HS chapter for handicrafts. The code depends on the material (for example textiles, ceramics, wood or metal). Confirm the code for each article.
Packing
Fragile or irregular pieces need cushioning, individual wrapping and clear marks. Keep a detailed packing list for mixed SKUs.
Documents and certifications
A typical set includes the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, and a certificate of origin. If a preference scheme applies you may need origin evidence such as REX or the form the destination specifies.
Wood, plant or animal materials may need extra certificates at destination. Ask the supplier for a materials list before you ship.
Shipping modes
Samples and small high-value lots often travel by courier or air. Compare sea freight for larger, heavier consignments.
