Customs

Important: Failure to declare dutiable goods or providing incorrect information may result in confiscation, fines, or legal penalties. Carrying restricted items, such as undeclared gold, is a serious offence and can lead to arrest and prosecution. For detailed information on duty-free allowances and customs regulations, visit the Indian Revenue Department website.

Passengers can use ATITHI, an Indian Customs mobile app, developed by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), Ministry of Finance. This app allows international travellers to digitally declare baggage, goods, and currency, ensuring a faster and more convenient experience.
