Important remarks 

The following list is an attempt to establish a basic selection of the world’s most usual artisanal and visual arts products, which are either already traded, or which may have the potential for a meaningful bearing on international trade.

The list gives the product codes for the selected items according to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS).

The code numbers/descriptions shadowed in grey correspond to those few exceptions for which the products are specifically identified as being “hand-made” or “original works”

About the selected HS codes on “Artisanal Products”

Based on the “Methodological Guide to the Collection of Data on Crafts” published by UNESCO, the products are listed under broad divisions, primarily according to the materials used (while, in certain cases, bringing together the material and the technique). The main categories in the list are entitled as follows:

About the selected HS codes on “Works of Art”

They mainly refer to visual arts, more specifically to: antiques, collectors’ pieces, painting and prints, photography and sculpture.


[1] Embrace those materials in craft production that are either very specific to the country, region or area, or rare, or difficult to work, such as, for instance: stone, glass, bone, horn, shells, etc., or a combination.
[2] Refer to different materials and techniques applied at the same time. For instance: arms (for ceremonial and decorative purposes or as theatrical properties), decorations, jewellery and gold/silversmith wares, musical instruments, toys.
