The customs declaration of the T-6 form is filled in 2 copies, one of which remains with you for the entire stay in Uzbekistan.

Rules for dealing with currency:

Import and export of currency:

Only imported and exported foreign currency in cash over eq. $ 2 000 is declared and presented to the employee of customs authorities. It is allowed to freely move the cash from the country within the limits of eq. $5, 000 (abiding the rules of declaration). In case of having sum over provided limit:

For residents - permission of the Central Bank of Uzbekistan, in which the entire exported amount is indicated. The authorization is valid for 3 months from the date of issue (the procedure for issuing permission is here);

For non-residents – passenger customs declaration, filled at the entrance to Uzbekistan. They can not take out more than they imported earlier.

Important!    The specified permission documents for the export of cash foreign currency are used once. For example, if a citizen has received permission from the Central Bank to export $ 10,000, then upon departure, he will hand it over to the customs authorities and, accordingly, will not be able to reuse it. Similarly, when a non-resident imported $ 12,000 into our country, having filled the passenger customs declaration for that amount of money, and subsequently took out $ 6,000, by presenting it, another $ 6,000 will be taken away next time for the same declaration.

At Tashkent International Airport named after Islam Karimov, as well as in other international airports of Uzbekistan, a double corridor system was launched. Thus, individuals crossing the customs border can choose the "green" or "red" corridor for customs operations as a form of declaring goods for non-commercial purposes.
