India's decision to revise its customs rules on gold jewellery, allowing nonresident Indians (NRIs) to carry it under a weight-based rather than value-based allowance, will make it easier for expats in the UAE and worldwide to comply with the rules.
Shamlal Ahamed, managing director for international operations at Malabar Gold and Diamonds, said that changing the customs rules to let women bring in up to 40 grams and men up to 20 grams of gold jewellery duty-free is a "practical move for the Indian expatriate community worldwide".
