The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, issued Notification No. 67/2025-26 dated 27 March 2026 under Section 5 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992 to amend Para 9.05 of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2023. The amendment removes the earlier per-consignment value limit of ₹10,00,000 for exports through courier services. While exports via registered courier services or Foreign Post Offices continue to be governed by notifications under the Customs Act, 1962 and regulated as per FTP/Export Policy in ITC(HS), the restriction on consignment value has been withdrawn. The change will take effect from 1 April 2026. The notification clarifies that exporters can now send goods of any value through courier mode without being subject to a prescribed cap per consignment, thereby modifying the earlier limitation.
