**Executive Summary**
This notification issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) amends Para 9.05 of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2023 to remove the value limit for exports made through courier services. Previously capped at Rs. 10,00,000 per consignment, the new provision allows for courier exports without a prescribed value limit. The amendment is set to come into effect on April 01, 2026.

**Impact Analysis**
**Exporters (using Courier Services)**
**Impact**
Exporters are no longer restricted by the Rs. 10 lakh ceiling, allowing for the shipment of higher-value goods through courier channels. This facilitates easier international trade for high-value items.
**Action Required**
Exporters should update their logistics and documentation processes to account for high-value shipments via courier starting from the effective date of April 01, 2026.
**Registered Courier Services and Foreign Post Offices**
**Impact**
These entities will now handle a broader range of consignments without value-based restrictions, potentially increasing the volume and value of the goods they process.
**Action Required**
Providers must ensure their internal systems and compliance checks are updated to reflect that the per-consignment value limit has been withdrawn.
**Regulatory and Customs Authorities**
**Impact**
Authorities will transition from enforcing a specific value cap on courier exports to monitoring these shipments solely based on general ITC(HS) and Customs Act compliance.
**Action Required**
Administrative and digital systems used for tracking exports must be updated to remove the automated Rs. 10,00,000 limit flag for courier consignments.
