Delhi Airport Customs: Anything to Declare?

Updated: June 7, 2026

Right after baggage collection, you’ll pass through customs — and it’s the same two-channel drill you know from every other airport on the planet.

Green Channel if you have nothing to declare, Red Channel if you do.

It is mercifully straightforward, like a bouncer checking your name on a list.

For the full fine print on what you can and cannot bring in, check the Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs website before you fly.

Most tourists waltz through the Green Channel without a second glance.
