ARTIMEX SPORT SRL's primary business activity is classified under NACE 5147 — Wholesale of other household goods in the Romanian national economic activity code system (CAEN in Romanian). The European Union NACE Rev. 2 equivalent is 4649 — Wholesale of other household goods. This NACE code covers wholesale trade in a broad range of consumer household goods not classified under more specific NACE codes — including sports equipment, games, toys, hobby goods, musical instruments, jewelry, watches, leather goods, travel accessories, carpets and textile floor coverings, lighting, and other miscellaneous household items.
| Classification system | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Romanian NACE (CAEN) | 5147 | Wholesale of other household goods |
| EU NACE Rev. 2 | 4649 | Wholesale of other household goods |
| HS chapters covered | Chapter 57 + Chapter 62 + Chapter 64 + Chapter 95 | Carpets/textile floor coverings (Ch. 57) + woven apparel (Ch. 62) + footwear (Ch. 64) + toys/games/sports equipment (Ch. 95) |
Interpretation: The NACE 5147 registration is the standard Romanian classification for sports equipment wholesalers — the "other household goods" category explicitly covers sports equipment and games (HS Chapter 95 — toys, games and sports equipment), and the "other garments" + "sports footwear" categories (HS 6211 + HS 6403) are also covered as general apparel wholesale. The carpets category (HS 5705) fits as a household goods wholesale line — carpets are household goods even though they are not strictly "sports" products, suggesting that ARTIMEX SPORT SRL carries carpets as a complementary household goods line (perhaps for sports facilities — gym floors, sports halls, locker rooms — or as a general household wholesale line).
In its importer role, ARTIMEX SPORT SRL brings six HS-coded product families into Romania, sourced from 8 EU member states (Austria, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain) plus Turkey. The six codes span three HS chapters (57 — carpets/textile floor coverings, 62 — woven apparel, 64 — footwear, 95 — toys/games/sports equipment) and together represent a comprehensive sports equipment + sportswear + carpets B2B wholesale portfolio.

All six importer HS codes are declared at Romanian customs under ARTIMEX SPORT SRL's importer registration. Since 7 of the 8 source countries are EU member states (Austria, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain — all in EU free circulation), most shipments enter Romania at 0% duty via EU intra-acquis trade (tracked via Intrastat rather than customs B/L). The single non-EU source is Turkey — entering at 0% duty under the EU-Turkey Customs Union when accompanied by an A.TR movement certificate. Romania applies standard EU TVA (VAT) at 19% at import (recoverable as input VAT for VAT-registered importers like ARTIMEX SPORT SRL).
In its wholesaler role, ARTIMEX SPORT SRL distributes to Romanian B2B customers a portfolio of 5 HS-coded product families — the same categories as the importer portfolio minus carpets (HS 570500). The carpets imported from France, Italy and Turkey are not declared in the wholesaler activity — this suggests they are either used internally (e.g. for sports facilities operated by ARTIMEX SPORT or affiliated companies), sold via a different channel not captured in the wholesaler registration, or used for specialized sports-floor applications (gym floors, sports hall carpets, locker room carpets) that are sold as part of broader sports facility contracts rather than as standalone wholesale carpet sales.
| HS Code | Product family | Romanian B2B customer |
|---|---|---|
| 621100 | Track suits, ski suits, swimwear; other garments | Romanian sports retail chains (Decathlon, Hervis, Intersport), independent sports shops, gyms, swim clubs, sports federations, school sports programs |
| 640310 | Sports footwear (with leather uppers) | Sports retail chains, independent sports shops, football clubs, athletics clubs, basketball teams, hiking clubs |
| 950651 | Lawn-tennis rackets, whether or not strung | Tennis clubs, sports retail chains, independent sports shops, tennis academies, school sports programs |
| 950660 | Balls, other than golf balls and table-tennis balls | Football clubs, basketball clubs, volleyball clubs, schools, sports federations, sports retail chains |
| 950699 | Articles and equipment for sports and outdoor games; swimming and paddling pools | Swimming pool operators, hotels with pools, schools, gyms, fitness studios, sports federations, municipalities, sports retail chains |
The 5-code wholesaler portfolio covers four functional sports verticals: (1) Sportswear (HS 621100 — track suits, ski suits, swimwear, team uniforms); (2) Sports footwear (HS 640310 — football boots, running shoes, tennis shoes, hiking boots); (3) Sports equipment hardgoods (HS 950651 tennis rackets + HS 950660 sports balls + HS 950699 general sports equipment, swimming pools, gym equipment, fitness accessories). This makes ARTIMEX SPORT SRL a full-line sports equipment + sportswear wholesaler — a typical Romanian B2B sports distributor profile that allows sports retail chains and independent shops to source a wide range of sports categories from a single supplier.
ARTIMEX SPORT SRL's 6-HS-code importer portfolio (and 5-code wholesaler portfolio) can be grouped into five functional sports verticals + one household goods vertical that together position the company as a multi-category sports equipment + sportswear + carpets wholesaler-importer:
| Vertical | HS codes | Source countries | Customer use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Sportswear | 621100 | Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain | Track suits for athletics, ski suits for winter sports, swimwear for aquatic sports, team uniforms for football/basketball/volleyball, tennis apparel, cycling apparel |
| 2. Sports Footwear | 640310 | Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain | Football boots, running shoes, tennis shoes, basketball shoes, hiking boots, athletics spikes, ski boots |
| 3. Tennis Equipment | 950651 | Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain | Lawn-tennis rackets — strung or unstrung; sold to tennis clubs, sports retail, school tennis programs |
| 4. Sports Balls | 950660 | Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain | Footballs, basketballs, volleyballs, handballs, rugby balls, medicine balls, fitness balls — for sports clubs, schools, federations |
| 5. General Sports Equipment + Swimming Pools | 950699 | Austria, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Turkey (8 countries — broadest source mix) | Inflatable swimming pools, gym equipment, fitness accessories, outdoor games, protective gear, athletic equipment, climbing, archery, fishing |
| 6. Carpets (Household) | 570500 | France, Italy, Turkey | Woven/tufted/knotted carpets — possibly for sports facilities (gym floors, sports halls, locker rooms) or general household wholesale |
The portfolio structure is characteristic of a multi-sport generalist wholesaler rather than a specialist — ARTIMEX SPORT SRL covers most major Olympic sports categories (athletics, basketball, football, swimming, tennis, winter sports) plus general fitness and outdoor games. This breadth makes the company suitable as a one-stop supplier for Romanian sports retail chains (Decathlon, Hervis, Intersport) and for institutions that need diverse sports equipment (schools, municipalities, sports federations). The carpets vertical is somewhat unusual for a sports wholesaler but fits the "other household goods" NACE 5147 classification.
Because ARTIMEX SPORT SRL imports six different HS-coded product families, its source-country portfolio is diverse — each HS code has different optimal source countries based on manufacturing specialisation and brand heritage in the European sports equipment industry.
| Source country | HS codes sourced | Specialisation / brands | Trade agreement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇦🇹 Austria | 621100, 640310, 950651, 950660, 950699 | Head (tennis rackets, skis — Austrian HQ); Atomic (skis); Fischer (skis); Blizzard (skis); Hassia, Lowa (footwear) | EU free circulation → 0% duty |
| 🇨🇿 Czechia | 621100, 640310, 950651, 950660, 950699 | Sporten (skis); Galasport (canoes); Bat'ha (footwear — historic Czech brand); Select (sports balls) | EU free circulation → 0% duty |
| 🇫🇷 France | 570500, 950699 | Decathlon group brands (Quechua, Kalenji, Kipsta, Geonaute — for HS 950699); Babolat (tennis rackets); Lacoste; Le Coq Sportif; Rossignol; Salomon; carpet manufacturers (Bollée, Tisons) | EU free circulation → 0% duty |
| 🇩🇪 Germany | 621100, 640310, 950651, 950660, 950699 | Adidas, Puma, Reebok (sportswear, footwear, balls); Bogner (skiwear); Head Germany (tennis); Völkl (tennis, skis); Derbystar, Erima (footballs); Togu, Schildkröt (fitness accessories) | EU free circulation → 0% duty |
| 🇭🇺 Hungary | 621100, 640310, 950651, 950660, 950699 | Various Hungarian sportswear / footwear / sports goods manufacturers — Hungarian sporting goods industry (smaller scale but covers full range) | EU free circulation → 0% duty |
| 🇮🇹 Italy | 570500, 621100, 640310, 950651, 950660, 950699 | Diadora, Lotto, Kappa, Fila (sportswear, footwear, balls); Tecnica (ski boots); Pinarello (bikes); Italian carpet manufacturers (Bitossi, Ditre Italia, Ideal Berta) | EU free circulation → 0% duty |
| 🇪🇸 Spain | 621100, 640310, 950651, 950660, 950699 | Babolat Spain (tennis rackets — world leader); Kelme, Joma, Munich (sportswear, footwear, balls); Orbea (bikes) | EU free circulation → 0% duty |
| 🇹🇷 Turkey | 570500, 950699 | Turkish carpets (Isparta, Kayseri, Bilecik clusters — Turkey is world's largest carpet exporter); Turkish sports equipment manufacturers (Intersport Turkey private label, various Turkish sporting goods) | EU-Turkey Customs Union → 0% duty with A.TR |
The 8 EU source countries together cover the main European sports equipment manufacturing clusters: 🇦🇹 Austria (winter sports — Atomic, Fischer, Blizzard, Head); 🇨🇿 Czechia (skis — Sporten; canoes — Galasport; footwear — Bat'ha); 🇫🇷 France (outdoor sports — Decathlon group, Salomon, Rossignol; tennis — Babolat); 🇩🇪 Germany (Adidas/Puma/Reebok global sportswear HQs); 🇭🇺 Hungary (general sporting goods); 🇮🇹 Italy (Diadora, Lotto, Kappa, Fila, Tecnica, Pinarello); 🇪🇸 Spain (Babolat tennis, Kelme, Joma); 🇹🇷 Turkey (carpets + sports equipment private label). The actual shipper identities and exact source countries per shipment are visible in the bill-of-lading dataset (Section 8 sample + Section 12 full dataset).
A bill of lading (B/L) is the transport document issued by the carrier (container shipping line, road freight forwarder) that accompanies every commercial shipment between ARTIMEX SPORT SRL and a foreign counterparty. Because 7 of the 8 source countries are EU member states, most shipments enter Romania via EU intra-acquis trade (tracked via Intrastat rather than customs B/L) — TIR truck from Austria/Czechia/Germany/Hungary/Italy/Spain to the Romanian border (Nădlac, Borș, Giurgiu crossings). The Turkey shipments are tracked as full customs B/L (with A.TR movement certificate) — entering Romania via Constanța South Port (RoRo from Istanbul Pendik) or via Kapikule-Nădlac TIR truck. The France shipments are also Intrastat (EU).
For ARTIMEX SPORT SRL, every B/L record (for Turkey imports) and Intrastat record (for EU imports) carries the following fields:
| Field | Description | Typical value for ARTIMEX SPORT SRL |
|---|---|---|
| B/L Number / Intrastat ID | Carrier-issued B/L (Turkey) or Intrastat declaration ID (EU) | e.g. RO-TR/2026/00482 (Turkey carpets); RO-IT/2026/01187 (Italy sportswear — Intrastat) |

For a multi-product sports equipment wholesaler like ARTIMEX SPORT SRL, a typical year of B/L records yields 40-120 inbound shipments — a higher count than a single-product importer because each product family is sourced from a different shipper. Sportswear + sports footwear + balls are typically seasonal (heavier volume February-March for Spring/Summer collection, August-September for Autumn/Winter collection); tennis rackets are typically year-round with peaks around Roland Garros (May-June) and Wimbledon (June-July); carpets are typically year-round; swimming pools are heavily seasonal (March-June pre-summer peak).

Romania, with a population of approximately 19 million (2025) and EU member state since 2007, is one of Central-Eastern Europe's larger sports retail markets. The Romanian sports equipment + sportswear + sports footwear market is estimated at EUR 800 million - 1 billion per year (2024-2025), driven by a growing middle class, increasing participation in recreational and competitive sports, expansion of fitness chains, government investment in school sports programs, and infrastructure modernisation for football / tennis / swimming / athletics.
The Romanian sports retail sector is dominated by several large national and international chains:
Below the national-chain tier, a substantial tier of independent sports shops, specialty sports retailers and B2B sports equipment wholesalers serves the regional and specialist markets — companies like ARTIMEX SPORT SRL plus similar Romanian wholesalers (Sport Sarajevo-style regional distributors, Sport Express, ProSport, Sport Life). These wholesalers typically supply independent sports shops, school sports programs, sports federations (FRF — Romanian Football Federation, FR Basket, FR Volei, FR Tenis), professional sports clubs (CSA Steaua, Dinamo, Rapid, Universitatea Craiova, FC Viitorul, FCSB), municipal sports facilities (sports halls, swimming pools, athletics tracks), and the HORECA sector (hotels with fitness centres and swimming pools).
Within the Romanian sports equipment wholesale segment, ARTIMEX SPORT SRL competes with similar wholesalers covering the multi-sport B2B market. ARTIMEX SPORT's differentiation is its broad 6-HS-code product portfolio covering sportswear, sports footwear, tennis rackets, sports balls, general sports equipment + swimming pools, plus carpets — and its multi-EU-country sourcing portfolio (8 EU countries + Turkey) which gives access to the major European sports brand clusters (Adidas/Puma Germany, Diadora/Lotto/Kappa/Fila Italy, Babolat Spain, Head Austria, Decathlon group France).
Romania applies standard EU TVA (VAT) at 19% at import (recoverable as input VAT). The EU Customs Union means goods in free circulation within the EU move freely to Romania at 0% duty. The EU-Turkey Customs Union provides 0% duty on Turkish industrial products (HS 57, 62, 64, 95 — carpets, apparel, footwear, sports equipment) when accompanied by an A.TR movement certificate.
If you are a competing foreign manufacturer (Adidas/Puma/Reebok Germany, Diadora/Lotto/Kappa/Fila Italy, Babolat Spain, Head Austria, Decathlon France, Turkish carpet manufacturer), a freight forwarder specialising in EU-Romania trade, a Romanian customs broker, a Romanian sports retail chain looking to source from ARTIMEX SPORT, a Romanian B2B sports wholesaler competitor, or a sports equipment trade analyst — the customs and B/L dataset for ARTIMEX SPORT SRL gives you the following 5-step prospecting workflow:
For freight forwarders, the same workflow applies in reverse — identify the shipping lane (e.g. Istanbul Pendik → Constanța South on Kontur RoRo for Turkey carpets; Herzogenaurach → Nădlac TIR truck for Adidas Germany sportswear; Treviso → Borș TIR truck for Diadora Italy sports footwear), find the ARTIMEX SPORT SRL consignee, and pitch your own lower-cost or faster-transit alternative route on the same lane.
Q1. Who is ARTIMEX SPORT SRL?
ARTIMEX SPORT SRL is a Romanian private limited liability company (SRL) operating the consumer-facing website www.artimex.ro. The company name "ARTIMEX" is a typical Romanian compound word from "Arta" (Art) + "Import/Export"; the "SPORT" suffix indicates the sports focus. ARTIMEX SPORT SRL is registered under NACE 5147 (Wholesale of other household goods) and operates as both an importer (purchasing from 8 EU countries + Turkey) and a wholesaler (distributing in Romania) of sports equipment, sportswear, sports footwear, sports balls, tennis rackets, swimming pools and carpets.
Q2. What HS codes does ARTIMEX SPORT SRL import?
Six HS codes: 570500 (carpets and textile floor coverings — from France / Italy / Turkey), 621100 (track suits, ski suits, swimwear — from Austria / Czechia / Germany / Hungary / Italy / Spain), 640310 (sports footwear — from Austria / Czechia / Germany / Hungary / Italy / Spain), 950651 (lawn-tennis rackets — from Austria / Czechia / Germany / Hungary / Italy / Spain), 950660 (balls, other than golf and table-tennis — from Austria / Czechia / Germany / Hungary / Italy / Spain) and 950699 (articles and equipment for sports and outdoor games; swimming and paddling pools — from Austria / Czechia / France / Germany / Hungary / Italy / Spain / Turkey).
Q3. Why are carpets imported but not wholesaled?
ARTIMEX SPORT SRL declares HS 570500 (carpets and textile floor coverings) in the importer role but NOT in the wholesaler role. This suggests the imported carpets are either (a) used internally for sports facilities operated by ARTIMEX SPORT or affiliated companies (e.g. gym floors, sports hall carpets, locker room carpets); (b) sold via a different distribution channel not captured in the wholesaler registration (e.g. direct project sales to sports facility construction projects); or (c) used for specialised sports-floor applications as part of broader sports facility contracts. The carpets are not stocked as standalone wholesale inventory for B2B distribution to other Romanian sports shops.
Q4. Why does ARTIMEX SPORT source from 8 EU countries + Turkey?
Each HS code has different optimal source countries based on European sports brand heritage and manufacturing clusters: Austria (Head tennis rackets, Atomic/Fischer/Blizzard skis); Czechia (Sporten, Galasport, Bat'ha); France (Decathlon group brands, Babolat, Lacoste, Rossignol, Salomon — for HS 950699 and carpets); Germany (Adidas, Puma, Reebok, Bogner, Derbystar, Erima); Hungary (general sporting goods); Italy (Diadora, Lotto, Kappa, Fila, Tecnica, Pinarello); Spain (Babolat Spain, Kelme, Joma, Munich, Orbea); Turkey (carpets — Turkey is world's largest carpet exporter; plus Turkish sports equipment). The multi-source strategy ensures access to the best European sports brands and price-competitive Turkish carpets.
Q5. What is NACE 5147?
NACE 5147 is the Romanian national economic activity code (CAEN) for "Wholesale of other household goods" — equivalent to EU NACE Rev. 2 code 4649. The "other household goods" category covers wholesale trade in consumer household goods not classified under more specific NACE codes — including sports equipment (HS Chapter 95), games, toys, hobby goods, musical instruments, jewelry, watches, leather goods, travel accessories, carpets and textile floor coverings (HS Chapter 57), lighting, and other miscellaneous household items. ARTIMEX SPORT's NACE 5147 registration is the standard Romanian classification for sports equipment wholesalers.
Q6. What are the customs duties for these imports?
For EU source countries (Austria, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain) — 0% customs duty under EU free circulation (Intrastat regime, not customs B/L). For Turkey imports (HS 570500 carpets + HS 950699 sports equipment) — 0% customs duty under the EU-Turkey Customs Union when accompanied by an A.TR movement certificate. Romania applies standard EU TVA (VAT) at 19% on the CIF value at import, recoverable as input VAT for VAT-registered importers like ARTIMEX SPORT SRL.
Q7. Are the sample B/L records in Section 8 actual ARTIMEX SPORT shipments?
No. The 6 records in Section 8 are representative sample B/Ls structured to show the typical data fields, shipper geography (Turkish carpet manufacturer / Adidas Germany / Diadora Italy / Head Austria / Derbystar Germany / Decathlon France), packaging convention (rolls for carpets, cartons for sportswear/footwear/balls, individual cartons for rackets, mixed cartons for swimming pools), vessel pattern (RoRo ferry for Turkey, TIR truck for EU road freight) and HS codes (570500, 621100, 640310, 950651, 950660, 950699) of the multi-origin trade lanes feeding ARTIMEX SPORT SRL's portfolio.
