The DIA allows import of natural cut and polished diamonds weighing up to 4 carats against physical export of cut and polished diamonds with 10% minimum value addition. Eligible exporters with two-star status and $15 million annual diamond export for last 3 years can import up to 5% of average annual exports, maximum $15 million. Imports are exempted from customs duties and IGST/Compensation Cess. Export obligation must be fulfilled within 6 months through Mumbai airport. The scheme aims to boost India's diamond exports.
