Policy support and relaxation measures for the Gem & Jewellery sector under Chapter 4 of the Handbook of Procedures (HBP), 2023. In response to prevailing geopolitical developments in West Asia affecting global trade and logistics, the government has granted a one-time relaxation for specific export and import timelines. For cases where the export, re-export, or re-import periods are expiring between 01 March 2026 and 31 May 2026, these periods are automatically extended by 30 days from the date of expiry. This facilitative measure is provided without the requirement for a separate application, composition fee, or amendment. Customs Authorities are directed to permit these transactions subject to the verification of relevant details.
