WHAT GOODS CAN BE IMPORTED TO BELARUS FREE OF CHARGE

Some people travel light. Some people, on the contrary, take more baggage with a thought: I better bring it home unpacked rather than miss any surprise.

No problems will occur with provident travelers at the Belarusian border if they follow a range of simple rules.

HOW MUCH MONEY TO TAKE WITH YOU

The amount of money and/or traveler's checks, which you can take with you, is not limited. If you import more than $10.000 in equivalent to Belarus, just declare the full amount in the passenger customs declaration.

Also, financial instruments, if any, must be declared (except for the above mentioned traveler's checks):

- bills of exchange,
- bank checks,

- hard copy securities, confirming the obligation of the issuer (debtor) on the payment of money without the indication of the person to whom the payment is made.
