The Baggage Rules, 2026 and associated Regulations establish electronic pre- or on-arrival customs declaration (via the Atithi app), permit alternative declaration where electronic filing is infeasible, and require risk-based verification; non-declaration attracts action under the Customs Act. Dutyfree allowances and transferofresidence concessions are specified by passenger class and duration, with a distinct special jewellery allowance and differentiated treatment for used personal effects versus valuables not for daily use, which may be dutyassessed or admitted on reimportation against export certificates. Temporary export/import certificates, detention receipts, and procedures for unaccompanied baggage, transit of baggage between stations, landborder limitations, and crew and diplomatic exceptions are prescribed; prior circulars are rescinded accordingly.
