<h1>CBEC Issues Circular to Enforce Customs Act and Baggage Rules, 1998, Curbing Misuse of Unaccompanied Baggage Imports.</h1> The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has identified misuse of the Baggage Rules, 1998, where passengers import goods on behalf of multiple individuals as unaccompanied baggage, bypassing penalties. This practice, known as 'door-to-door delivery' traffic, has led to a circular being issued to enforce the application of the Customs Act, 1962, and Baggage Rules, 1998, to unaccompanied baggage, excluding free allowances. The move aims to curb the exploitation of baggage import provisions and ensure compliance at airports and customs stations.
