At the customs border crossing on entry/exit; corridor choice and declaration at the customs control area.
Who it applies to, exceptions and limits (full text)
Turkmen Customs requires written declaration of restricted or dutiable goods; other eligible personal goods may use simplified oral declaration and the green channel, while declarable goods use the red channel. Adults declare; accompanying parents/guardians declare minors goods. The page states duty exemption for hand luggage up to 60 kg including up to 1 kg jewellery; excess weight is charged USD 10 per kg and excess jewellery USD 0.20 per gram. The separate personal-use excise allowance is 1 litre alcohol and 2 packs tobacco. Personal-use status depends on the nature, quantity and frequency of movement. Licences and prohibitions still apply; a duty exemption does not remove them. Prescription medicines for personal treatment require the prescription under the stated guidance.
