I have created bootable USB with custom folder in it, After installation i want to copy files from USB to local directory, Following is kickstart file %post section

%post --nochroot --erroronfail --log=/mnt/sysimage/root/ks-post.log

cp -af /run/install/repo/custom/Router_CFG.ini /var/lib/tftpboot

%end

Above code throws error that /var/lib/tftpboot directory doesnt exist, i removed --nochroot

%post --erroronfail --log=/mnt/sysimage/root/ks-post.log

cp -af /run/install/repo/custom/Router_CFG.ini /var/lib/tftpboot

%end

and now it complain that USB mount point (/run/install/repo) is not available.

Then i tried to mount USB drive

%post --erroronfail --log=/mnt/sysimage/root/ks-post.log

mkdir /mnt/myusb

usbblkid=$(blkid -L "CentOS 7 x86_64")

mount $usbblkid /mnt/myusb

cp -af /mnt/myusb/custom/Router_CFG.ini /var/lib/tftpboot

%end

Now its throwing error

Your first attempt was almost correct. Try it this way:

%post --nochroot --erroronfail --log=/mnt/sysimage/root/ks-post.log

cp -af /run/install/repo/custom/Router_CFG.ini /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/tftpboot

%end

When using %post --nochroot, the root of the new system will be at /mnt/sysimage so you'll need to prefix it to all the paths referring to the new system you're installing. The installation media will be at /run/install/repo.

If you remove the --nochroot, then the root of the new system will be at /, but the installation media will be inaccessible without extra steps.
Your second attempt might have worked if done like this (adapted from a working RHEL7.2 postinstall configuration I made and tested earlier):

%post --erroronfail --log=/root/ks-post.log

mkdir /mnt/myusb

mount /dev/disk/by-label/CentOS*7*x86_64 /mnt/myusb

cp -af /mnt/myusb/custom/Router_CFG.ini /var/lib/tftpboot

umount /mnt/myusb

rmdir /mnt/myusb

%end
