Comprehensive Guide Details Duties, VAT, Compliance Norms and FTA Benefits to Streamline India–Gulf Jewellery Trade
GJEPC has released a GCC Customs Guide covering import procedures for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait, to help exporters navigate compliance requirements and shipment planning.
The GCC remains a key market for India, with exports of about $8 billion in FY 2024-25, contributing nearly 27% of global shipments from the sector. The guide outlines customs duties, VAT Structures, Documentation Norms, Hallmarking and Assay Rules, Kimberley Process and CITES Compliance, Temporary Import Provisions, Port Procedures and Clearance Timelines.
The guide notes that GCC countries broadly follow a 5% import duty regime, with country-specific VAT and regulatory requirements, while CEPA and FTA benefits are available in markets such as the UAE and Oman subject to origin documentation.
Designed as a practical reference, the guide aims to reduce customs delays, compliance costs and entry barriers, particularly for new exporters targeting the Gulf region.
