Earlier, Indian Customs\u2019 duty-free allowance was limited to Rs 50,000 on the total valuation of foreign goods imported to India for personal use. Under the bonafide baggage rules, 2026, the new duty-free limit is Rs 25,000 for foreigners (non-Indian origin) arriving in India by air or sea. Earlier, it was only Rs. 15,000.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>New customs rules for bringing laptops to India<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>India\u2019s new baggage rules, 2026, allow you to bring a new laptop or notebook free of customs duty in your bona fine baggage. You must be 18 years or above, and the new laptop or notebook purchased abroad must be for your personal or family use, or gifting, under Section 79 of the Customs Act, 1962. You have to pay the applicable customs duty on a second new laptop if the value exceeds the enhanced duty-free limit.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What if you carry dutiable goods to India beyond the duty-free limit? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>On arrival in India, you need to pay customs duty on the amount minus the new duty-free limit of Rs 75,000, if the value of dutiable goods in your bonafide baggage exceeds the duty-free allowance.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Well, there is some good news for overseas Indians visiting the home country and resident Indians returning from an international trip. The new finance bill, under the Union Budget 2026-27, has reduced the customs duty to a flat 10% for all dutiable goods, from electronics to fashion accessories to high-end luxury items to gourmet food, that they carry for personal use or a non-commercial purpose like gifting (to a certain extent).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Effective from 1 April 2026, you will be paying only 10% as customs duty on the taxable value of imported goods, minus the duty-free limit of Rs 75,000, provided the dutiable goods are honestly declared through the Red Channel at Indian airports. Previously, taxable imports from abroad, though for personal use, attracted a basic customs duty of 20% or higher on the extra value.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It means, starting in April 2026, the cost of bringing electronic items from USA to India for personal use or gifting will significantly drop. If you bring a new iPhone from USA to India, other than your personal one in use, you will have to pay a flat 10% customs duty on the iPhone price minus the duty-free allowance of Rs 75,000, and a social welfare surcharge at 10% of the applicable customs duty,&#8221; said Sourav Agarwal, Senior Editor at <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IndianEagle.com<\/a><\/span>, your trusted travel-booking partner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What foreign items don\u2019t qualify for the flat 10% customs duty in India? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The reduced customs duty won\u2019t apply to alcoholic beverages, printed reading materials, tobacco products, cars, and items that require an import license.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How much gold jewelry can you bring under India\u2019s new baggage rules 2026? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Under the new baggage rules effective 2 February 2026, India redefined duty-free jewelry allowance for Indians, both resident and overseas. The redefined jewelry allowance is purely weight-based now, irrespective of the value. Whether you are a resident Indian, or an NRI living abroad, you are entitled to carrying gold jewelry duty free to India within the following limits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>40 grams for Indian women and 20 grams for Indian men returning from an international trip<\/li>\n<li>40 grams for Indian-origin women and 20 grams for Indian-origin men residing abroad for more than 1 year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India\u2019s Union Budget 2026 revised the baggage rules for international arrivals, both Indian-origin and foreign-origin.
