Traditional Masks

Traditional Masks

Traditional masks of Assam, particularly those from Majuli, are handcrafted cultural artefacts used in Bhaona performances and sold in tourism-oriented souvenir markets.

Traditional mask-making is a heritage craft of Assam, particularly in Majuli, where masks are made using bamboo, clay, cloth, and natural colours. The craft supports artisan livelihoods and promotes cultural tourism. From a fiscal perspective, handcrafted mask products are subject to applicable GST, while exports are zero-rated with RoDTEP benefits, and imports of tools may involve customs duties, depending on the applicable tariff classification. From a non-fiscal perspective, compliance with quality and finishing standards, packaging requirements, and labelling requirements is important. Export markets require adherence to applicable safety standards, proper documentation, and suitable packaging for fragile items.
