New rules mandate declarations for postal exports; specific forms needed for Chapter 3 FTP benefits.
All postal exports must be accompanied by declarations as per Notification No. 48/2018-Cus (N.T.). Exports claiming benefits under Chapter 3 of the FTP require a specific form. Exports over Rs. 50 or involving payment must be declared on the P.P. form, except when exempted by RBI or authorized dealers. Postal authorities must ensure prohibited items are not sent; suspected parcels are presented to Customs. If parcels contain no prohibited items or misdeclarations, they are cleared for export. Otherwise, they are investigated, and adjudication proceedings are initiated if necessary.
