The Center for Government Communication (CGC) has outlined new regulations that all travelers must follow when carrying cash and valuable items through Kuwait International Airport. These rules, published in line with the Customs Inspection Procedures Guide, are aimed at improving transparency and compliance.

According to the CGC, anyone carrying cash or its equivalent totaling KD 3,000 or more—in either local or foreign currency—must declare it upon arrival or departure.

Travelers are also required to carry high-value items such as jewelry, watches, and electronic devices in their hand luggage, accompanied by valid purchase receipts.

Gold in all forms—whether raw, jewelry, or ornaments—must be declared. Travelers must submit an outgoing customs declaration form at departure and present purchase receipts upon arrival.

Failure to declare gold may result in arrest or confiscation of the undeclared items.

The CGC has urged travelers to complete the customs declaration form when departing from Kuwait International Airport to avoid legal issues or delays.

Violating these customs procedures may lead to arrest, fines, or confiscation. Authorities encourage all passengers to comply strictly with the regulations.
