General Considerations
- The custom department that assesses the gold and weight it works from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you do not arrive in this schedule, the gold will stay in custom until the next day. My advice is to book a flight in that schedule.
- If you are going to bring more than $2,000 in gold bullion hired a custom broker.
Process
- Declare the gold in the custom forms that they give you in the airplane or in any other document that they give you.
- Bring your invoice of the gold.
- When you go through the airport scanner they will send you to the Custom Department.
- Custom Department assesses and weigh the gold. If you are bringing gold bullion you don't have to pay import tax, but Custom Department require a payment of $73.00 for invoice that exceed US$2000.00.
- Custom inspector will prepare a blue ticket then you must take that document to your broker in order to prepare a declaration.
