At Sarajevo International Airport, authorized officers of the ITA in cooperation with the officers of the BiH Border Police successfully prevented an attempt to illegally bringing in a large amount of money. During the regular check of passengers and passenger luggage who landed on the Istanbul-Sarajevo flight line, they examined the Turkish citizen A.H. who, in addition to his personal luggage, had hidden money of different currencies in the amount of 50,970 Euros and 5,000 USD.
Before the inspection, the Turkish citizen denied that he had goods for customs clearance and that he had nothing but personal luggage. Appropriate proceedings will be initiated against the perpetrators of the described illegalities before the competent court.
We remind you that all travelers who bring in or take out cash or securities in the amount of more than 10,000 euros are obliged to report it to customs officers at international border crossings.
The Directorate for Indirect Taxation of BiH invites all citizens to report any form of illegal trade, tax or customs evasion to the open line 080 02 06 07. All calls are free and completely anonymous, the Indirect Tax Administration announced.
