Case Laws Customs HC

HC directed CBIC to reconsider Baggage Rules 2016, particularly provisions regarding declaration of jewellery by incoming international passengers. HC observed that Baggage Rules and Declaration Forms lack clarity on jewellery declaration norms. HC also noted that Rs. 1,00,000 value cap for duty-free jewellery import is unreasonably low considering current gold prices. CBIC to coordinate with relevant ministries, submit report on proposed revisions by next hearing.
