India removes courier export value limit
Change
India removed the per‑consignment value ceiling for exports sent via courier services, abolishing the previous ₹10 lakh cap and making the change effective April 1, 2026.
Why it matters
Exporters and courier operators must now revise shipping, customs‑declaration and booking procedures to handle single consignments above the former ₹10 lakh threshold. Failing to update documentation and acceptance rules will increase the risk of customs delays and incorrect filings for high‑value courier shipments.
Implications
- — Exporters' logistics and export‑compliance teams must update invoices, packing lists and courier booking practices to consolidate higher‑value shipments or face customs processing delays.
- — Courier companies' operations and compliance teams must revise value‑declaration and acceptance rules for single consignments above ₹10 lakh or risk processing errors and shipment rejections.
