DGFT Permits Import/Export of Gems & Jewellery as Personal Carriage from Ahmedabad Airport

The DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) has granted permission for import and export of gems and jewellery as “personal carriage” through Ahmedabad Airport. The new regulatory allowance simplifies customs formalities for individuals travelling with jewellery, potentially aiding traders, artisans, NRIs, and frequent travellers. The move may also positively impact Gujarat’s gem-jewellery trade, boost cross-border commerce, and streamline export logistics for small consignments, while ensuring compliance with customs regulation.
