New Delhi: Fliers travelling with gold and precious jewellery may soon have some relief as Customs is mulling opening a counter at Delhi Airport for appraisal of such expensive items before embarking on a foreign travel so that they are not charged duty on their return.

Giving away the earlier practice where a flier had to get their gold and jewellery evaluated at the Gems and Jewellery appraisal counter in Central Delhi, Customs has intensified its negotiations with the Delhi International Airport Limited, operator of Indira Gandhi International Airport here, official sources said.
