GJEPC Collaborates with Delhi Customs to Streamline Jewellery Export via Personal Carriage
Follow-up meeting focuses on refining SOPs under Circular No. 09/25 – Customs to ease export processes through Delhi’s Precious Cargo Warehouse
On 15 April, a delegation from the GJEPC Northern Regional Office met with senior officials of Delhi Customs to further refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the import and export of jewellery via personal carriage. This discussion followed an initial meeting held on 9 April and focused on the implementation of Circular No. 09/25 – Customs, dated 28 April 2025, with the goal of issuing a comprehensive public notice for the trade.
Key customs officials present included Mr. Dheeraj Rastogi, IRS, Principal Commissioner – Exports; Ms. Ashima Bansal, IRS, Commissioner – ACC Export; Mr. Vishal Pal Singh, IRS, Commissioner – Airport; Mr. Dibyalok Singh, IRS, Deputy Commissioner – ACC Shed; and Mr. Anuj Kumar Pandey, IRS, Additional Deputy Commissioner – Airport. Representing the GJEPC were Mr. Antarpal Singh Sawhney, Regional Chairman – North, and Mr. Anil Sankhwal, Convener, Studded Jewellery Panel.
The meeting primarily addressed ways to optimise the draft SOPs for hand-carried jewellery exports through the Precious Cargo Warehouse (PCW) operated by Celebi at Delhi Airport. GJEPC representatives proposed practical solutions to remove procedural bottlenecks and speed up customs clearance. Among their key requests was the establishment of a dedicated detention room for appraised parcels within the Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) cargo shed to reduce delays and improve exporter convenience.
Customs officials, led by Mr. Rastogi, responded positively to the recommendations and assured the delegation of due consideration. They also advised GJEPC to initiate discussions with CWC for space allocation to implement the suggested changes effectively.

MCX Gold, Silver Edge Higher, Comex Gold Moves To $23.30 To Reach $4,113.80/oz
The Uptick Reflects Cautious Optimism Among Global Traders Following Diplomatic Signals That Washington and Tehran May Be Nearing A Resolution Regarding Key Maritime Passages
Gold and silver prices pushed higher Tuesday as commodity investors calibrated market expectations around U.S.-Iran diplomatic discussions and the prospect of reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures rose $23.30, or 0.6%, to trade near $4,113.80 per ounce. Silver futures picked up $1.03 to settle near $58.88 per ounce.
The momentum spilled into Asian markets. On India’s Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), benchmark October gold contracts climbed Rs 644 from the previous close to open at Rs 1,43,559 per 10 grams, eventually rising to Rs 1,43,607 per 10 grams during morning trade. September silver contracts on the exchange gained momentum as well, advancing Rs 2,404 to reach Rs 2,19,150 per kilogram.
In global trading on the Comex, gold rose $23.30 to reach $4,113.80 per ounce, while silver advanced $1.03 to $58.88 per ounce. Domestically on India’s MCX exchange, October gold contracts gained Rs 692 to trade at Rs 1,43,607 per 10 grams, while September silver contracts climbed Rs 2,404 to Rs 2,19,150 per kilogram.
The uptick reflects cautious optimism among global traders following diplomatic signals that Washington and Tehran may be nearing a resolution regarding key maritime passages. A potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz—a crucial transit hub for global commodity transport—has prompted shifts in energy and precious metal risk premiums across international markets.
Despite Tuesday’s modest rebound, both metals continue to trade significantly below their high-water marks for the year. Comex gold previously touched a year-to-date peak of $5,586.20 per ounce, while silver reached $121.79 per ounce during earlier market surges.
