Declare luxury items valued at 3,000 Kuwaiti Dinars or more upon entry at Kuwait International Airport
The Ministry of Interior has issued new guidelines for travelers carrying money, jewelry, and other valuables, as reported by Al Jarida newspaper. These guidelines are part of efforts to maintain financial security and prevent illegal activities.
According to the new rules, travelers are required to declare cash equivalent to KD 3,000 or more, or its equivalent in foreign currency, to the Financial Investigation Department at the airport. A similar declaration is required for gold in all its forms, including bullion, jewelry, and precious watches, when leaving the country.
Upon departure, a sighting note is provided for jewelry, watches, and other valuables. Receipts must be presented during inspection. Upon arrival, a similar sighting note is issued.
The Air Cargo Department near the T4 building has also issued a statistical statement for gold bullion. However, the responsible authority in Germany for creating statistics on gold bars, including those processed by the Air Cargo Department near the T4 building, is not specified in the available sources. Generally, customs authorities cooperate with financial offices (such as regional tax or customs offices) for tracking and reporting on gold trade and transport.
The declaration is a legal requirement aimed at combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The process does not restrict travel but ensures transparency and compliance with financial security regulations.
These guidelines apply to both departing and returning passengers. The ministry's announcement emphasizes the importance of maintaining financial security and upholding legal requirements to ensure a safe and secure travel experience for all.
