The Baggage Rules 2016 define the duty-free allowance, restricted items, and concessions for passengers arriving in India. Travellers can bring goods up to the prescribed value limit, one duty-free laptop, and eligible gifts, while excess items attract customs duty. The rules also offer special allowances for minors, long-term returnees, and tourists, and strictly prohibit firearms, wildlife products, and counterfeit items.
