Can you bring cash to Uzbekistan?

Short answer
Allowed, declaration may be required

  • Cash

    allowed, declaration may be required

    Complete a customs declaration on entry if you bring significant amounts of money (the threshold is US$10,000) or more than 65 grams of precious metals and gemstones. Fill in 2 copies and make sure customs officials sign and stamp both. You can't leave Uzbekistan with more foreign currency than you brought in.

    If you carry currency or valuables that you didn't declare on arrival, officials may confiscate them. Uzbekistan's customs site (customs.uz) couldn't be read; this row rests on the UK government's travel advice, which gives the threshold as '10,000 US dollars'.
