Mumbai International Airport is set to roll out hand-carriage jewellery export operations starting 1st May 2025, marking a major milestone for India’s gem and jewellery trade. The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) formalised the procedure through Circular No. 09/2025-Customs dated 28th March 2025, enabling import/export via personal carriage.

A successful mock drill was conducted on 24th April 2025, with collaborative efforts from Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB), BVC, Precious Cargo Customs Clearance Centre (PCCCC), Airport Customs, and GJEPC. The drill, overseen by Mr. Roopesh Sukumaran, Additional Commissioner of Customs, PCCCC, simulated a passenger export scenario with GJEPC Secretariat playing the role of the exporter.

GJEPC’s sustained advocacy has been instrumental in achieving this breakthrough. The upcoming advisory from DG Systems will pave the way for Mumbai Customs to issue the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for hand carry exports.

The initiative will benefit especially emerging exporters, offering them flexibility to personally carry jewellery to global markets. GJEPC has already set up a dedicated airport office to assist members with hand carry procedures.

Following a successful physical debut in Mumbai, jewelry brand iAMORY has officially launched its mobile application on Android and iOS. The move signals a strategic shift to scale its direct-to-consumer (D2C) presence, targeting the rapidly evolving digital habits of Indian shoppers.

The app launch is designed to solve the “discovery fatigue” and lack of transparency often associated with traditional jewelry buying. By focusing on the 925 sterling silver and lab-grown diamond (LGD) segments, iAMORY is positioning itself at the intersection of affordability and fine jewelry.

A “Digital Counter” Experience The platform introduces several features aimed at building consumer confidence in high-value online purchases:

  • Total Transparency: Real-time access to metal purity details, diamond certifications, and clear pricing breakdowns.
  • Mobile-First Design: A seamless interface featuring AI-driven notifications, wishlists, and secure “one-tap” checkouts.
  • Exclusive Access: App users will receive priority access to limited product drops and specialized discounts not available on the web or in-store.
Archit Jain,

Archit Jain of iAMORY noted that the power dynamic in the industry is shifting. “Digital adoption is democratizing jewelry,” Jain stated. “It is shifting power from family-led counters to digital-first, design-led brands that prioritize transparency, speed, and storytelling.” He describes the app as a “digital counter” where users can instantly compare prices and access social proof.

iAMORY plans to continuously iterate on the app experience, with upcoming updates slated to include advanced personalization tools, AI-driven loyalty mechanisms, and interactive content formats to deepen customer engagement.
