The belongings that a person carries on his or her journey are referred to as baggage. When travelling by aircraft, a person can only take a certain amount of luggage. There may be minor variances in the amount of things that can be checked in across practically all airlines and countries. On their travel, they can follow the same criteria regarding bag weight. The tourist must obtain clearance from the customs officer, which must be done with a declaration and the completion of the prescribed form. Those that are brought into India and items that are taken out of India fall under the purview of Exchange Management in India. Customs duties must be applied at a certain rate on these items. The baggage rules may differ depending on the length of the person's stay, their age, or their country of origin. Every traveller receives a duty-free allowance, which allows them to carry any item they choose without paying duty. However, if the value of the articles exceeds the duty-free quota, the person must pay the difference in customs duty. Personal items are exempt from paying any duty duties. The items that are not permitted to carry include the following: ➢➢ As far as gold and silver jewels in excess of permitted limit is concerned; the maximum limit for females is Rs.20, 000 and Rs.10, 000 for males. ➢➢ Indian currency exceeding the amount of Rs.1000. 112 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

113 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

➢➢ Harmful drugs such as coca leaf, cocaine, hemp, charas, opium, morphine, etc., and also their mixtures or derivatives. ➢➢ Vulgar material that includes obscene magazines, books, pamphlets, drawing, painting, representation, figure, or any such item. ➢➢ Some other restricted items include plants, parts of plants, soil seeds, fruits, dry fruits, vegetables, flowers, coffee seeds, coffee beans, cottons and un-manufactured tobacco. ➢➢ Pet animals and birds are allowed, but in limited numbers only. 114 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

➢➢ Fire armaments Airlines have varied requirements, and rules are subject to change at any time. The passenger must ensure that the handbag they are carrying is not large or overweight for the flight. Most airlines have now decreased the amount of weight and size of luggage that can be carried for free. Almost all airlines allow overweight or oversized baggage, but the passenger must pay an additional fee for the excess weight. Baggage is processed at India's initial airport of entry. Transit travellers' luggage with a destination outside of India is excluded. 5.3 CHECK-IN BAGGAGE 115 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

The cost of an airline ticket may include not only the passenger's transportation but also their personal belongings. The fare paid reflects the type of seat and service provided, as well as the amount of luggage allowed. The Free Baggage Allowance is what it's called. This baggage allowance includes both checked and cabin baggage. Each airline sets its own luggage allowances and fees, whereas IATA sets the rules for how interline fees are calculated. The baggage allowance varies by airline, route, class, fare, and other factors. 5.4 CHECKED BAGGAGE 116 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Checked baggage may be defined in one of these ways:The Weight Concept specifies the quantity of baggage that a passenger's ticket entitles them to in kilos. In the international sector, for example, an economy class traveller is entitled to 20 kilos of baggage and a business class passenger to 30 kilos. On flights within, to, and from Canada and the United States, the piece idea is commonly used. The Piece Concept establishes the number of bags that a traveller is entitled to based on the ticket's allowable restrictions. In general, each traveller is allowed two pieces of checked baggage, each weighing no more than 23 kilos (50 lb) and measuring no more than 158 cm (62 in) when the dimensions are added: height + breadth + length. 5.5 CABIN BAGGAGE Carry-on luggage must fit into the aero plane cabin, which restricts the size, weight, and shape of luggage to fit under a passenger seat or in a storage compartment. The length of cabin luggage should not exceed 22 inches (56 cm), the breadth should not exceed 18 inches (45 cm), and the depth should not exceed 10 inches (25 cm). Wheels, handles, side pockets, and other features are included in these measurements. Carry-on items must be kept with the traveller at all times and is the passenger's responsibility. 117 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

5.6 DANGEROUS GOODS AND BAGGAGE For safety reasons, all types of knives, sharp objects or cutting implements of any kind and of any length, whether of metal or other material, and some sporting goods must be packed in checked baggage. They cannot be carried in the cabin baggage or with self. What are Dangerous Goods? 118 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

The concept rarely occurs to us, but many of the items we use on a daily basis are hazardous to aircraft. Lithium batteries, dry ice, and aerosol whipped cream, for example, are hazardous materials. These goods may appear to be harmless, yet they can be extremely harmful when delivered by air. If these products are not handled properly, vibrations, static electricity, temperature, and pressure fluctuations can cause them to leak, emit hazardous fumes, start a fire, or even explode. Any item or material capable of creating an unjustifiable risk to health, safety, or property when transported in commerce is referred to as a dangerous good (also known as hazardous material or hazmat). The first step in reducing the hazards caused by dangerous items is to identify them. This is followed by adequate packaging, communication, handling, and stowage. 119 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

The Department of Transportation has a classification system for dangerous commodities that is based on the chemical and physical qualities of the product. Obtaining a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from the manufacturer and checking the \"Transportation Information\" section is an excellent place to start when assessing whether your product is potentially hazardous. This can give you a lot of information about the hazards of transporting your items. Dangerous Goods Hazard Classes Dangerous goods are classified by the Department of Transportation into nine hazard classifications, each of which describes a particular form of risk. For example, flammable liquids are classified as Class 3 while corrosive materials are classified as Class 8. For each hazard class, learn more about commonly delivered risky commodities (PDF). The Hazardous Materials Table of the Department of Transportation gives extra information on certain harmful commodities. Class 1 Explosives Class 2 Gases 120 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Class 3, Flammable Liquids Class 4, Flammable Solid, Spontaneously Combustible, and Dangerous When Wet Class 5, Oxidizer, Organic Peroxide 121 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Class 6, Poison (Toxic), Poison Inhalation Hazard, Infectious Substance Class 7, Radioactive Material Class 8, Corrosives Class 9 Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials and Lithium Batteries 122 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

5.7 CURRENCY The inbound as well as outbound tourist is subject to the following economic regulations: 123 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Tourists are not permitted to carry or take Indian cash into or out of the country. The quantity of foreign currency or travelers’ checks that can be taken into India, however, is unrestricted. Visitors should declare any foreign currency worth more than $1,000 when they arrive. They are only allowed to exchange money at banks and authorised dealers. They are given an exchange certificate with each currency exchange, which should be kept in order to re-convert unused rupees when they leave the country. It's also proof that they used legal ways to swap money. The foreign tourist must not exchange currency in black-market. Foreigners are not allowed to leave India with any local currency. For their convenience, banks at international airports are open 24 hours daily to convert unused rupees. (b) Income Tax: An Income Tax Clearance Certificate is necessary to depart India if a person who is not a resident of India wishes to stay for longer than 120 days. This document will show that the person's stay in India was paid for with his own money, rather than through job or the sale of his belongings. These certificates are issued by the overseas divisions of the Income Tax Department in Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and Mumbai, based on the person's passport, visa, and currency exchange receipts. (c) Foreign Travel Tax: For international travel from Indian airports Rs. 150 must be paid for travel to neighboring countries and Rs. 300 for travel to all other countries. 5.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON REGULATIONS Firearms: It is advisable to obtain a possession licence in advance. A Tourist Baggage Re- Export Form (TBRE) is issued upon arrival to tourists for re-exportation of their expensive items duty free. Replica Guns: It requires a Permit for Import. Radio Controlled Helicopters: Only those operating at 27 MHz are permitted. Seeds and Plants: The import of seeds and plants for the purpose of sowing, planting and propagation, consumption, research and breeding requires an import permit Livestock and 124 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Livestock Products: The import of these, by any means including cargo or baggage is restricted and requires a sanitary import permit as well as a No Objection Certificate (NOC). Pets up to two per passenger are allowed as baggage only for persons transferring their residence to India after a two-year continuous stay abroad, subject to the production of a required health certificate from the country of origin and examination of the said pets by an 125 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

animal quarantine officer without an import licence issued by the DGFT, under the Baggage Rules, 1998. 5.9CONCLUSION Customs law is designed to regulate the flow of commodities, transportation, and personal effects into (Import) and out of (Export) a country. Every country has its own import and export laws and regulations, which are implemented by its customs department. Import and export control is accomplished by the imposition of customs duties. The Customs Act of 1962 and the Customs Tariff Act of 1975 govern customs duty in India. Obtaining an Import and Export Code is a basic need for doing business in the import and export industry (IEC). However, if you import or export any products for personal use that are unrelated to trade, manufacture, or agriculture, the same is not necessary. Importers and exporters do not need to be involved in the process directly. Some custom brokers or agencies are licenced to conduct import and export business, and they will handle the entire process of clearing the goods with the customs authority by following the regulations and paying the applicable duties. The list of approved customs agents can be accessed on the customs department's website. Under the Indian Trade Classification system, the Customs administration has divided the commodities into distinct categories for the purposes of import and export. 5.10SUMMARY  Baggage refers to the items that a person transports on his or her journey. When travelling by aircraft, a person can only take a certain amount of luggage.

Figure- 6.1 Customs Duty Certain goods are prohibited (banned) or restricted (subject to certain conditions) for import and/or export. These are goods of social, health, environment, wildlife and security concerns. Every year, a variety of products from other countries make their way into India. We import billions of things as a country through various modes of transportation such as air, train, and waterways. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade oversees all of India's import-export activities. When it comes to importing and exporting, the DGFT's Importer Exporter Code (IEC) is utilised to officially authorize the acquisition or sale. Here's a list of everything the DGFT says you can't bring into India. The DGFT keeps track of all products that could be imported into India. There is a category of things on this list that may not be brought into our country under any circumstances. Failure to follow the rules outlined in this list can result in serious consequences. The items on these lists must be known by any seller or manufacturer who imports or exports goods to or from India. 133 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Improper importation is punishable under Section 112 of the Customs Act, while attempting to export goods improperly is punishable under Section 114. The Adjudicating Officer has the authority to impose a penalty of up to five times the value of the prohibited goods. As a result, it is critical for the trade to understand what bans or restrictions exist. 146 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

The terms \"Prohibited Goods\" have been defined in sub-section 33 of Section 2 of the Customs Act as meaning \"any goods the import or export of which is subject to any prohibition under the Customs Act or any other law for the time being in force\" The Central Government has the authority to issue Notifications under section 11 of the Customs Act, declaring the export or import of any items as forbidden. The prohibition can be unconditional or conditional. A notification under section 11 can be issued for a variety of reasons, including maintaining India's security, preventing and alleviating shortages of goods in the country, conserving foreign exchange, and ensuring the balance of payments, among others. The Central Government has issued numerous notifications prohibiting the importation of sensitive commodities such as coinage, obscene publications, printed waste paper comprising pages from any holy book, armoured guard, false stamps, explosives, narcotic substances, and so on. Under Export and Import Policy, laid down by the DGFT, in the Ministry of Commerce, certain goods are placed under restricted categories for import and export. Under section 3 147 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

and 5 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992, the Central Government can make provisions for prohibiting, restricting or otherwise regulating the import of export of the goods. As for example, import of second hand goods and second hand capital goods is restricted. Some commodities are completely barred from import and export, while others can be imported or exported with a permit. For example, the export of human skeletons is strictly prohibited, yet the export of livestock is permitted with the purchase of an export licence. Another example is Notification No.44 (RE-2000) 1997, dated 24.11.2000, which states that all packaged products subject to the provisions of the Standards of Weights and Measures (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 1997, when produced/packed/sold in the domestic market, must comply with all of the said Rules when imported into India.All packed goods imported into India must bear the importer's name and address, the net quantity in standard unit of weights and measures, the month and year of packing, and the maximum retail sale price, including any local or other taxes. If any of the standards are not met, the import of packaged products will be considered forbidden, and the commodities would be confiscated. Another restriction imposed by the Ministry of Commerce's aforementioned Notification is that a large number of products, currently numbering 133, must comply with mandatory Indian Quality Standards (IQS), and exporters of these products to India must register with the Bureau of Indian Standards for this purpose (BIS). Importation of such products will be forbidden if the aforesaid condition is not met. Other regulations, such as the Environment Protection Act, the Wild Life Act, the Indian Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, and the Arms Act, may restrict or prohibit the import and 148 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

export of certain commodities. Prohibition under those statutes will also apply to the Customs Act's penal provisions, making such products subject to confiscation under sections 111(d) (for import) and 113(d) (for export) (for export). Under section 135 of the Customs Act, any importer or exporter who is knowingly involved in any fraudulent evasion or attempted evasion of any prohibition under the Customs Act or any other law in force in respect of any import or export of goods faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison (seven years in the case of notified goods). Under the terms of section 104 of the Customs Act, any individual who is reasonably considered to be guilty of an offence punishable under section 135 may be arrested. With the foregoing punitive measures in the Customs Act dealing with any purposeful evasion of prohibition/restriction of import or export of specific products, it is recommended that the Trade be well-versed in the provisions of the EXIM Policy, the Customs Act, and other associated Acts. They must ensure that they are informed of any prohibitions, restrictions, and regulations that apply before making any imports or planning any exports. alone goods can be imported/exported, so that they do not get penalized, and goods do not get involved in confiscation etc. proceedings at the hands of Customs authorities. 149 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
