- Reference is invited to Circular No. 09/2022-Customs dated 30.06.2022 which provides a simplified regulatory framework for e-commerce export of jewellery through courier mode.

- The request has been examined. It has been decided that such exporters who do not wish to re-import as permitted vide Notification No. 57/2022-Cus (N.T.) and make a declaration to this effect in the Courier Shipping Bill (CSB-V) at the time of export, will not be required to upload the following documents on the ECCS system as prescribed under Para 3(I)(v) of Circular No. 09/2022-Customs:
c) Photos of the export item (not exceeding 2MB);
d) Photos of the product package/outer covering (not exceeding 2 MB); and
e) Image of the product listing on the e-commerce platform.
The aforesaid Circular No. 09/2022-Customs dated 30.06.2022 has been amended accordingly.
3.1 Further, notification no. 43/2023-Customs (N.T.) dated 15.06.2023 has been issued for amending Form HA (CSB-V) to incorporate the aforesaid declaration by the exporter. Such a declaration will also relieve the exporter from filling out certain additional fields concerning item-level specifications of the jewellery in the Form HA. Necessary modification is being made in the Express Cargo Clearance System (ECCS) for incorporating these changes in Form HA.
