When traveling abroad, remember that each country has its own specific restrictions when crossing the border. Let's consider the features of the national customs legislation of some states that are popular tourist destinations in the winter period. Knowing the basic rules will allow you to properly carry out customs clearance of transported goods and cross the border without problems.
In Egypt, there is a ban on the export of antiques without supporting purchase documents. In addition, you cannot export gold items valued at more than $3,000.
In Turkey, it is forbidden to export items that are a hundred years old (a certificate from a museum is required for confirmation). Jewelry can be purchased for up to $15,000.
In the United Arab Emirates, a receipt is required for antiques, jewelry, and carpets (this, of course, does not apply to historical valuables – exporting them is strictly prohibited!). It is also forbidden to export wild animals.
From Greece, you cannot export antique items, especially from archaeological excavations or from the seabed, and receipts are also required for large purchases.
In Thailand, there is a ban on the export of ivory, coral, and images of Buddha, and jewelry can be exported only with permission from the Department of Fine Arts.
In India, you will have to submit a declaration when exporting goods worth more than $2,000. Customs may detain you for transporting reptile skin and wild animal hides.
In Vietnam, in addition to the above, you need permission from the National Bank to carry gold weighing more than 300 grams.
Cubans, among other things, prohibit the export of seashells, feathers, and skin of rare birds and animals. Duty-free passage of up to 23 cigars is allowed, and wooden items must be checked in as baggage.
