Personal items enter duty free, says Customs Agency

Customs Agency made clear on Tuesday, 3 April 2018 that personal items are still duty free. Mentioned among these are clothing, laptop, camera, cell phone, and gifts for up to US$500. “The rights of passengers continue as they were. It is not true that duties need to be paid on the items categorized as personal luggage,” said the DGA in a press release.

The DGA says that what has changed is the Customs form that was modified to comply with Law 155-17 on Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism.
