Details

No specific restrictions for personal baby formula. In the reverse direction (taking baby formula out of India): allowed — Baby formula may be exported from India freely at personal-use quantities. Arrival inspections are conducted by Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC); when in doubt, use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties.

Leaving with this item

Baby formula may be exported from India freely at personal-use quantities.

Practical advice

Personal-quantity infant formula (under 5 kg, sealed retail packaging) clears CBIC without declaration. Bulk import or unfamiliar-brand purchases may attract food-safety review; keep the purchase receipt and original packaging for inspection.
