No more 24-carat gold under baggage rules

In the proposed national budget for the fiscal year 2024-25, significant changes have been made to baggage rules in Bangladesh. The most notable change is that 24-carat gold ornaments will no longer be allowed as part of baggage. Only gold ornaments of 22 carats or lower, up to 100 grams, can be brought in. Additionally, children below 12 years cannot bring in gold ornaments, gold bars, or alcoholic beverages, and unaccompanied baggage will not receive duty exemption facilities. These changes aim to regulate the import of high-value items through baggage.(Bd pratidin English)
