We are sellers on eBay for past 7 years and we deal specifically in gemstones,
we normally ship by India post, both by registered post and speed post, During last one year some of our consignments have been returned back to us by the customs asking for jewellery export certificate
We have a import export code number and we send our items with coustoms declaration form CN 23 and 90% of our sales are low value items ranging from rupees 100 to 5000 rupees per consignment so it will be impossible for us to get each item valued and obtain certificate for the same
As per my knowledge jewellery export certificate is for high value items specially required by exporters who may import back the items and they should produce documents such as purchase invoice/ valuation certificate issued by authorized value for obtaining export certificate
My question is do the so called retail exporters or eBay sellers or online sellers can ship/post items legally without jewellery export certificate,
If anyone has more information about the subject will appreciate if they can give us some information on the subject as per the indian law
