In the International Trade import and export of high value, low weight goods through Courier by air has come into vogue for quite sometime. For regulating the said import and export, the Government of India had framed Courier Imports (Clearance) Regulation in 1995 and has subsequently revised it by framing an up to date Courier Imports and Exports (Clearance) Regulations in 1998. Private companies have been registered as authorised couriers in the International Airports at Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Calcutta, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Jaipur by the Customs Commissioner of the respective places.
