A passenger returning from abroad can bring gold ornaments up to 100 grams duty free. The government has been providing this facility in the baggage rules for an age. This time, the definition of gold ornaments has been added to the baggage rules to prevent misuse of this facility.
In the budget speech, the finance minister said that there is a growing trend of bringing in crude gold (24 carats) that looks like ornaments in jewelery for the purpose of evading customs duties from various countries in the Middle East. For that, he proposed to add the definition of gold ornaments in the baggage rules.
When asked, a customs officer on duty at Shahjalal International Airport told Prothom Alo on condition of anonymity on Thursday that the rate of gold bar bangles weighing 100 grams from Middle Eastern countries has increased recently in the name of gold ornaments. The duty of every gold bar taken is four thousand rupees.
