FAQ :

The Rs 10 lakh cap on courier exports will be removed from April 1st, 2026.

The main goal is to boost e-commerce exports, enhance ease of doing business, and strengthen India's global competitiveness, particularly for MSMEs, artisans, and start-ups.

The RTO mechanism is a simplified process to return uncleared or unclaimed imported goods (not prohibited or restricted) that have been at courier terminals for over 15 days, back to their origin.

The procedure for re-importing returned or rejected goods has been simplified, using a risk-based approach instead of consignment-wise verification, and a dedicated return module has been developed.

The Courier Imports and Exports (Electronic Declaration and Processing) Regulations 2010 and the Courier Imports and Exports (Clearance) Regulations, 1998 have been amended.
