Filling Out the Customs Declaration Form

• Travelers with items to declare should complete the customs declaration form and use the “Goods to Declare” lane for customs inspection.
• If you are entering the country with your family, only one form is needed per family.
• Fill out the customs declaration form given onboard, including the items to declare and personal details, and sign it.
• You may choose to complete the customs declaration form in the arrival hall; however for a quicker entry process, it is recommended to fill it out in advance while on the plane.
• If you have separately sent items or unchecked baggage, note them on the declaration form and submit it to the customs officer at the arrival location for verification.
• If you wish to pay taxes later, you should ask the customs officer.
• Mobile Customs Declaration: You can complete the customs declaration via the “Traveler Customs Declaration” app or website during entry, which allows for a faster and more convenient entry process. (Taxes are also payable after the declaration)

• If any prohibited or restricted items are found among the goods you brought in, they will be inspected, and all necessary conditions will be assessed.
• The declared value will be accepted unless it is unusually low, and taxes will only be imposed if the value exceeds the duty-free allowance.
• If the customs officer deems the traveler’s identity to be reliable, deferred tax payment may be allowed.

Notice

• Please note that if you falsely complete the customs declaration or fail to declare items and are caught in the duty-free lane, you may face penalties (confiscation of goods, fines, imprisonment) under the Customs Act.
• Please be aware that bringing in items on behalf of someone else may be illegal. If the items include prohibited or restricted goods, you will be held fully responsible and liable for any resulting penalties.
• If you must bring in items on behalf of someone else, you must declare them on the customs declaration form or verbally inform a customs officer to avoid liability.
