Hand-Carriage Jewellery Exports from Mumbai Airport Launches on 1st May

Published

on

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.
