Immigration
There are separate immigration desks for Indian citizens and citizens of other
countries. The formalities are simple and quick. Please have your completed
immigration document (the Airline staff will distribute it during your flight to
India
), passport, visa, and other related documents. The stamped portion of the
immigration document should be retained to complete the formalities on departure
from
India
.
Customs
 |
The Indian Customs have a Red Channel for visitors carrying dutiable goods and
a walk-through Green Channel for those who have nothing to declare. Please walk
through the green channel unless you have something specific to declare and pay
duty for. Your baggage may be scanned on exit. The Customs declaration is a part
of the immigration document. This portion of the document should be produced to
the Customs officer. |
The following may be imported into
India
by passengers over 17 years of age without incurring customs duty:
- 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars
or 250g of tobacco
- 1 bottle of an alcoholic
beverage
- goods for personal use or
gifts.
We suggest that you
voluntarily ask for endorsement for all expensive electronic equipment (video
camera, laptop, etc) in your possession to avoid any Customs related problems on
departure from
India
. Narcotics, plants and gold and silver bullion are prohibited. For detailed
baggage rules, please check
here.
Airport Exit
The Customs area will lead you
to the airport exit. Authorized money-changers, domestic airline representatives,
hotel counters, and cab agencies are located in the exit lobby. Follow the signage
and reenter the appropriate airport domestic departure terminal for connecting
flights. If you are expecting someone to meet you on arrival, look for the one
with a placard bearing your name and waiting at the exit. Cabs and inter-terminal
shuttles are available outside the exit. You may want to avoid unauthorized agents
- they may be expensive.
