India eases compliance requirements for gems and jewellery trade
Change
India extended the re-export period for imported diamonds sent for certification from 90 days to 120 days, extended re-import and certain export periods for gems and jewellery by 30 days or to 120 days under a one-time procedural relaxation, and waived the need for separate applications or amendment fees.
Why it matters
The change reduces immediate deadline pressure on shipments and certification timelines, easing operational stress caused by global trade and logistics disruptions. Customs will still verify documentation, so exporters must continue to prepare and present supporting records to use the extended windows.
Implications
- • Customs authorities' export/import desks must permit corresponding export and import transactions under the extended timelines while verifying relevant shipment and certification documents.
- • Gems and jewellery exporters' compliance teams must retain and present required documentation to customs to claim the one-time extensions instead of submitting separate relief applications or paying amendment fees.
