NOTE:
CBIC has established a harmonized procedure for import/export through personal carriage, effective May 1, 2025, focusing on gems and jewellery, samples, and prototypes. The circular introduces electronic processing of Bills of Entry/Shipping Bills for personal carriage at specified airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Jaipur. For gems and jewellery, the procedure includes pre-filing documentation with passenger details, customs examination, and temporary detention facilities. For samples/prototypes, eligible exporters may opt for factory examination instead of port examination. The streamlined process aims to reduce time and costs while maintaining regulatory compliance, with specific roles outlined for importers/exporters, passengers, and customs officers to facilitate seamless transactions.
