"Are you a jewelry exporter in Gujarat? Are you tired of traveling to Mumbai or Delhi just to hand-carry your precious samples abroad? Well, I have great news for you!"
For years, jewelry exporters in Gujarat—whether based in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ), an Export Oriented Unit (EOU), or the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA)—had a common logistical headache. To personally carry high-value samples or parcels to international clients, they often had to travel to Mumbai or Delhi first.
That ends now.
Thanks to DGFT Public Notice 33/2025-26, Ahmedabad is now an authorized hub for the personal carriage of Gems & Jewellery.
Why this matters:
Speed: No more transit via other cities. Walk into Ahmedabad Airport and fly direct to your destination.
Cost: Significant reduction in logistics and security transit costs.
Safety: You keep your high-value goods with you throughout the journey.
Key Compliance Checklist:
Banking: All export proceeds must be realized through normal banking channels.
Customs: You must follow the standard Customs examination and clearance procedures at Ahmedabad Airport.
Documentation: Ensure your Shipping Bill or Bill of Entry is correctly filed for "Personal Carriage."
