15 July 2011 Imports and exports through courier mode have registered a healthy rate of growth in recent years. For regulating such imports and exports, the Government has framed the Courier Imports and Exports (Clearance) Regulations, 1998. At present, the facility of courier clearance is available at Customs airports in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Calcutta, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Land Customs Stations at Petrapole and Gojadanga. Under the scheme, the courier goods are cleared through a fast track mode on observance of simple formalities by courier companies. Examination of parcels is kept to the minimum and clearance is allowed on the basis of selective scrutiny of documents. The duty, where leviable, is paid by the courier company on behalf of importers/exporters before taking delivery of the parcels. The weight limit for courier/express material (individual packages) for imports and exports is fixed at 70 kg.

please also noted :-

for certain excluded categories, all goods are allowed to be imported through the courier mode. The goods which are not allowed to be imported through courier are (a) animals and plants; (b) perishables; (c) publications containing maps depicting incorrect boundaries of India; (d) precious and semi precious stones, gold or silver in any form; and (e) chemicals falling within Chapters 28, 29 and 38 of the Customs Tariff. Perishables and chemicals require testing of samples before clearance. Import of animals and plants is subject to sanitary and phyto sanitary regulations. In either case, the assessment and clearance takes time. These goods, therefore, do not fit into the scheme, which envisages Customs clearance on a fast track mode. Further, passenger terminals and Land Customs Stations are not equipped to handle precious and semi precious cargo.

please noted that:-

all goods are allowed to be exported though courier except for certain excluded categories. The goods not allowed to be exported through courier mode are those which attract any duty on exports or those exported under export promotion schemes, such as Drawback, DEPB, DEEC, EPCG etc. Other exclusions include goods where the value of the consignment is above Rs.25,000/- and transaction in foreign exchange is involved. The limit of Rs.25,000/- does not apply where the G.R. waiver or specific permission has been obtained from the Reserve Bank of India.
