Taking watches (commercial) out of India
Commercial-quantity watches exported from India requires a commercial export declaration; samples at personal quantities move informally.
Details
Watches in commercial quantities must be exported from India under a commercial export declaration with a commercial invoice and, where applicable, a packing list and certificate of origin for preferential tariff treatment at destination. High-value consignments should be insured and may warrant an ATA Carnet for trade-show movement; travellers carrying multiple new luxury watches are routinely assessed duty at arrival. Carrying commercial quantities as passenger baggage without export documentation risks seizure and misdeclaration penalties on the origin side and duty assessment at destination.
