- Under India’s Baggage Rules 2026, a passenger arriving by air can bring new articles worth up to ₹75,000 duty-free (Indian residents, NRIs, OCI cardholders, and foreigners holding non-tourist visas); the allowance is ₹25,000 for foreign tourists. A carried package travels inside the traveler’s own free allowance, one reason peer-to-peer carrying works so well on this corridor. source · retrieved 2026-10-23
- Since December 2019, importing goods into India by courier or post declared as “gifts” is prohibited (DGFT Notification 35/2015-2020; CBIC Circular 4/2020), except life-saving medicines and Rakhi. If you are sending a gift, a traveler carrying it in personal baggage is often the only fully compliant route. source · retrieved 2026-10-23
Prohibited platform-wide: weapons, drugs, hazardous materials, counterfeit goods, cash, live animals, and perishables. Both sender and traveler are responsible for customs and airline compliance, see the requirements and complete customs guide.
