🏦 RULES FOR THE IMPORT AND EXPORT OF CASH FOREIGN CURRENCY

Individuals may bring any amount of cash foreign currency into Uzbekistan, subject to certain conditions. 
If the total amount of cash foreign currency being brought in exceeds the equivalent of 70 million soums (about 6500 US dollars), the passenger must declare it on the customs declaration. If the cash foreign currency is less than the equivalent of 70 million soums, it may be declared orally.

Bringing in undeclared cash foreign currency in an amount exceeding 70 million soums is a violation of the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. In this case, the funds are documented and seized, and administrative or criminal proceedings are initiated accordingly. The Uzbek judicial authorities decide what happens to the cash foreign currency thereafter.

Export of cash foreign currency in an amount of 70 million soums—that is, no more than this amount—is permitted by oral declaration, without listing it on a written customs declaration. Cash foreign currency equivalent to between 70 million and 100 million soums (about 9200 US dollars) must be declared.

Export of cash foreign currency exceeding the equivalent of 100 million soums is permitted only for passengers entering the country, within the amount declared on the customs declaration (for example, if a foreign citizen brought 15000 US dollars into Uzbekistan, spent part of the money in the country, and has a balance exceeding 100 million soums), or on the basis of documents confirming the lawful receipt of funds by winners or participants in international competitions (contests, olympiads) organized in the republic in accordance with established procedure.

Legal entities, except for the country's banks, are prohibited from importing or exporting cash soums or cash foreign currency from the Republic of Uzbekistan.

🪙 Rules for the import and export of CASH NATIONAL CURRENCY
