Handicraft · United States
Importing handicraft from India to the United States
Handmade decorative and craft goods from India's traditional craft clusters — Moradabad brass, Jaipur blue pottery, Channapatna wood, Saharanpur woodcraft — classified by material, not as a single tariff category.
HS classification
Varies by material: HS 4420 (wood, incl. wood marquetry/inlay) in Chapter 44; HS 8306 (statuettes/ornaments of base metal, incl. brass and dhokra ware) in Chapter 83; HS 6913 (ornamental ceramic articles, incl. blue pottery) in Chapter 69
Documentation for United States
- Standard CBP customs entry (ACE filing) — no FDA or product-safety agency involved for purely decorative pieces
- FDA lead/cadmium leaching limits apply only if a ceramic piece is marketed for food or beverage contact (bowls, mugs, plates) — decorative-only pieces are exempt if clearly labeled not for food use
The compliance question that actually matters here is material classification, not a safety approval — confirm whether a piece is decorative or food-contact before it ships, since that single fact decides whether FDA leaching limits apply at all.
Certifications that matter
Order volume and shipping
Courier for sample and small-carton quantities; air freight for pallet volumes on fragile ceramic/glass pieces; ocean freight for heavier metal/wood volumes.
Indiasay listings are built to be orderable from a single sample unit — MOQ and lead time are set per product, not per category, so test before committing to volume.

The fastest-growing buyer for handicraft landed in the United States is an Amazon FBA, Shopify, Etsy or TikTok Shop seller restocking 200–500 units at a time, not a distributor buying by the pallet — landed cost is quoted per unit, in USD, so it can be checked directly against a marketplace listing price. Amazon FBA prep — labelling, polybagging and carton marking to the destination fulfilment centre's requirements — is arranged per order; confirm the exact prep specification for your listing before dispatch, since it varies by product and by Amazon's own current requirements.
