When to apply

Hand luggage and accompanied baggage are declared by the person when crossing the State border (Art. 308(1)); unaccompanied baggage: on import within the Art. 129 time limits, on export simultaneously with presentation of the goods to the customs authority (Art. 308(6)); currency values above the export thresholds: mandatory written declaration when crossing the border on exit; duties and taxes for goods declared in electronic or written form: cashless payment, with a copy of the payment order sent to a person who paid electronically (Art. 309(1)).

Who it applies to, exceptions and limits (full text)

Tajikistan Customs Code Arts. 303-310 (current consolidated text on the NCZ official page, status «Действующий», amendments listed through Law No. 2186 of 01.10.2025) govern goods moved across the customs border by individuals. Art. 304 grants full relief from customs duties and taxes for goods imported by individuals within Government-set weight (quantity) and value norms; the current numerical allowances of Government Resolution No. 544 cannot be verified from official sources this round (ADLIA public preview: status active, amendments through Decision No. 442 of 31.07.2024, text truncated after definitions) - unknown; duty-free treatment itself is not a separate declaration procedure. Art. 308(2), as amended by Law No. 2186 of 01.10.2025: goods, including vehicles, must be declared in electronic OR written form when they are (1) moved in unaccompanied baggage (still traveler-related, but declared at separate time points under Art. 308(6), not the traveler's on-site submission); (3) restricted for import under Tajik legislation or whose value and (or) quantity exceeds the Art. 304 duty-free limits; (4) restricted for export under Tajik legislation; (5) subject to mandatory written declaration on export under normative legal acts (the currency export rules of NBT Instruction No. 234 below are of this type); (6) vehicles. Art. 308(3): in cases not covered by part 2, goods are declared orally; voluntary written declaration is allowed. Art. 308(4): goods subject to oral declaration may be declared by conduct only in the cases and procedure determined by the customs authority - passage through a specially marked lane is treated as a statement to the customs authority that the person carries no goods subject to written declaration. Art. 308(5): goods of persons under 16 are declared by an accompanying parent, adopter, guardian or custodian, or by the leader of an organised group of minors. Art. 308(6): unaccompanied baggage - on import the declaration is lodged within the Art. 129 time limits; on export simultaneously with presentation of the goods to the customs authority. Art. 309(1), as amended by Laws No. 2001 of 13.11.2023 and No. 2186 of 01.10.2025: customs duties and taxes are paid by individuals in cashless form when goods are declared in electronic or written form, and a person who paid electronically is sent a copy of the payment order; this concerns payment of duties and taxes, not a traveler declaration service fee. Currency values (NBT Instruction No. 234 «О порядке ввоза в Республику Таджикистан и вывоза из Республики Таджикистан валютных ценностей», still listed in the current NBT normative index; NBT-hosted PDF is the version of NBT Board Resolution No. 55 of 23.05.2019 amending Instruction No. 30 of 15.03.2018, MoJ-registered 21.02.2020 - used as the currently obtainable official version, without claiming to have checked every later amendment), per single border crossing: EXPORT - up to the equivalent of USD 3,000 (mandatory written declaration starts from the equivalent of USD 3,001): no mandatory written declaration and no source-of-origin documents; residents, equivalent of USD 3,001 to 10,000 (original wording «от 3'001 ... до суммы эквивалентной 10'000» retained as written, not rewritten as 'strictly above USD 3,000'): mandatory written declaration without source documents; residents, non-integer amounts strictly between the equivalent of USD 3,000 and USD 3,001: point 2 prescribes no rounding or tier-assignment rule, so this narrow gap is left unknown and must not be read as automatically falling into the next tier; residents, strictly above the equivalent of USD 10,000: mandatory written declaration AND source-of-origin documents; non-residents, strictly above the equivalent of USD 3,000 (explicitly «превышающих 3'000»): mandatory written declaration AND source-of-origin documents - this strict threshold is unaffected by the residents-only 3,000-3,001 gap; voluntary declaration is possible for EXPORT of currency values up to the equivalent of USD 3,000. IMPORT of currency values: without quantity limits, in compliance with the customs legislation of Tajikistan; the current NBT PDF contains no import written-declaration threshold (the older scanned trade-portal version's sentence requiring written declaration on import at or above the equivalent of USD 3,000 is NOT adopted as current), so the current import declaration form/threshold is unknown. The Instruction's chapters on authorised banks' interbank currency movements do not apply to travelers. No official source obtained this round proves a separate currency declaration form or a second independent submission, so the cash rules are merged into this single traveler customs declaration procedure (original ID retained, name widened, no duplicate procedure counted). The Code's permission of electronic declaration does not by itself evidence that every checkpoint offers online submission with a receipt.
