Customs - Tourist Baggage Rules - Amended
By Vijay Kumar
THE Government has amended the Baggage Rules, 1988. As per Appendix E, Sl. No. C of the Baggage Rules, ‘Tourists of Nepalese origin coming from Nepal or of Bhutanese origin coming from Bhutan' were not eligible for any free allowance. Now this item ‘c' is deleted thereby making Nepalese and Bhutanese tourists also eligible for the free allowance.
