is gold coin allowed from dubai to india?
Yes, you can bring gold coins from Dubai to India, but there are clear rules you need to follow. If you’re carrying gold coins, they don’t fall under the duty-free allowance (which usually applies only to jewelry for passengers staying abroad for a certain period). For coins or bars, customs duty is always charged, and you must declare them at the airport.
When the total weight of the gold coins imported is less than 100 grams per passenger, a 10% customs charge is levied on gold coins. When the total weight of the gold coins is 20–100 grams, 10% duty is charged on the total gold coin value.
However, if the total weight is less than 20 grams, no customs duty is required. I’ve seen cases where people carried just one or two small coins, and they still had to pay customs duty based on weight and the current gold rate in India. So, you cannot bring in gold coins casually in your luggage. You should be prepared for checking and paying duty according to the rules.
