Customs & Airports in Nepal |
 |
|
Customs :- All baggage must be declared and
cleared through the customs on arrival at the port entry.
Passengers arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA)
without any dutiable goods can proceed through the Green Channel
for quick clearance without a baggage check. If you are carrying
dutiable articles, you have to pass through the Red Channel for
detailed customs clearance.
Import :- Apart from used personal belongings, visitors are
allowed to bring to Nepal free of duty cigarette (200) or cigars
(50), distilled liquor (one 1.15 liter bottle), and film (15
rolls). You can also bring in the following articles free of
duty on condition that you take them out with you when you leave
: binoculars, movie or video camera, still camera, laptop
computer and portable music system .
Export :- It is illegal to export objects over 100 years old
(sacred images, paintings, manuscripts) that are valued for
culture and religious reasons. Visitors are advised not to
purchase such items as they are Nepal's cultural heritage and
belong here. The Department of Archaeology has to certify all
metal statues, sacred paintings and similar objects before they
are allowed to be sent or carried out of the country. Handicraft
dealers and travel agents are able to assist you in this
process. For more information on Customs matters Contact the
chief Customs Administrator, TIA Customs Office.
Airport Tax :- Passengers departing from the Tribhuvan
International Airport are required to pay airport tax of Rs. 770
if going to SAARC countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan India, Maldives,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka) and Rs. 1100 to all international
destinations. Domestic airport tax is Rs. 165. |
