New Delhi:
Customs authorities have asked flyers coming into India not to pool duty free allowances on goods being brought by them with other passengers.
The move comes after instances were noticed in which some India-bound passengers claimed duty free allowances in a group instead on individual basis, customs officials said on Monday.
Following which, a note has been incorporated in the customs declaration form, which needs to be filled by all passengers coming to the country, for information.
Customs duty is leviable at the rate of 36.05 per cent on the value of the dutiable goods that is in the excess of free allowances.
