Presented to Customs on arrival; the paper form, QR-code digital form and AN Viajero app can be completed before reaching the border, and no advance-filing deadline or N-day window is stated. Cash of USD 10,000 to 20,000 (inclusive) taken out of the country is registered on the same form on departure.
Who it applies to, exceptions and limits (full text)
Every international traveller must present Form 250 to Customs on arrival (Régimen de Viajeros FAQ Q1); the requirement rests on Supreme Decree 29681 of 20/08/2008, as amended by Supreme Decree 5404 of 23/05/2025 (Q2). Filing modalities (Q3): preprinted paper form, digital form reached by scanning a QR code, or the AN Viajero mobile app (through the anbsw01 online form service). Duty-free franchise (Q7): new articles of strict personal use or consumption, non-commercial, up to a FOB value of USD 1,000, with quantity limits (Q8): 3 litres of alcoholic beverages, 400 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 500 g of cut tobacco, and up to 3 units (boxes or vials) of prescription medicines; the used personal effects listed in Q8 (one camera, one laptop, one mobile phone, etc.) also enter duty-free. The franchise is granted once to the family-group representative and does not extend to each member (children under 18 are not covered), while children over 18 must individually file Form 250 for the baggage and cash they carry (Q5); the FAQ does not address a child exactly 18 years old (unresolved bo-franquicia-hijo-18). The franchise is available again only after 90 days or more since the last entry in which it was applied, and never for frequent travellers or commercial goods (Q6). New articles above the franchise: up to USD 2,000 total, import duties are paid on the excess through a minor-quantity goods declaration (Declaración de Mercancías de menor cuantía); above USD 2,000 with the franchise not applicable, duties are paid on the total through a Declaration of Importation for Consumption (Q4). Cash (Q10): a traveller may carry up to USD 50,000 on entry and up to USD 20,000 on exit, or the equivalent in other currencies; amounts from USD 10,000 to USD 50,000 inclusive on entry, and from USD 10,000 to USD 20,000 inclusive on exit, must be registered on Form 250 stating the type of currency, its origin and its destination; amounts strictly above USD 50,000 on entry or USD 20,000 on exit may not be carried on the traveller declaration and must be moved through financial-intermediary entities and/or money-order and remittance companies holding an operating licence from ASFI (Autoridad de Supervisión Financiera). Non-compliance: undeclared dutiable goods identified during primary-zone control under the traveller regime may be nationalized only after correcting numeral II of Form 250 and paying the customs contravention (Q9); cash in the declarable bands that is not declared is subject to retention of 30% of the total carried, 30% of the difference between verified and declared amounts for an imprecise declaration, and 30% of the excess where an amount above the limits is declared (Q11). No fee for the form itself is stated in any readable official text; import duties and the 30% sanction are taxes/penalties, not form fees.
