Article 162. Declaration of goods transported by individuals for non-commercial purposes

Goods transported by individuals for non-commercial purposes in carry-on and accompanied baggage shall be declared by individuals when they move across the customs border presenting the goods.

Goods transported in carry-on and accompanied baggage by an individual under the age of sixteen shall be declared by an individual accompanying him.

A double corridor system can be utilized in locations of arrival into or departure from the customs territory for declaring goods transported by individuals.

Use of a double corridor system shall provide an individual with a choice of crossing the customs border as a way of declaring goods for non-commercial purposes of the “green” or “red” corridor for customs operations.

The “green” corridor is a specially designated place at the points of arrival or departure, intended for the movement by individuals across the customs border of goods for non-commercial purposes in hand luggage and accompanied baggage. The specified goods are declared orally, with the exception of goods, the import or export of which is prohibited or limited in accordance with the law, as well as goods, the value and (or) quantity of which exceeds the norm for duty-free import of goods established by law.

For customs purposes, passage of an individual through the “green” corridor shall be considered a statement that the specified individual does not have goods subject to submission of a formal declaration to the customs authority.

The "red" corridor is a specially marked area at the locations of arrival or departure intended for movement of goods by individuals across the customs border, which are subject to submission of a formal declaration, as well as goods that an individual, who cares them in a carry-on and accompanied baggage, would like to declare.

The fact that certain forms of customs control in the "green" corridor are not applied shall not mean that individuals are exempt from the obligation to comply with requirements of the customs legislation.

The Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan shall determine the requirements and a procedure for operating the double corridor system at checkpoints across the customs border.

Goods of an individual for non-commercial purposes, which are transported as separate unaccompanied baggage, can be declared by an individual moving the goods or by any other individual acting under a power of attorney. An individual declaring the goods shall be responsible for accuracy of information presented to the customs authority.
