The National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing calls on citizens to declare their money and property at customs when traveling.

Tripoli, September 24, 2025 (LANA) - The National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing at the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) has called on all citizens and travelers through Libyan ports to comply with customs declarations of funds and property upon travel. This is in accordance with Resolution No. (6) of 2018 regarding the amounts to be declared.

The committee explained in a statement issued today, Wednesday, that disclosure is not merely a formality, but rather a legal obligation aimed at protecting travelers and avoiding any legal or financial consequences that may arise. It indicated that failure to declare funds in the country of departure may lead to the confiscation of funds by the authorities of the country of arrival, exposing the citizen to legal accountability.

In the statement, published on the official page of the CBL, the committee emphasized the importance of citizens taking the initiative to declare their funds through the designated customs forms at Libyan ports.

The Committee noted that, in accordance with its Resolution No. (6) of 2018, travelers are permitted to carry sums of money without having to declare them, within the following limits:

- (200) Libyan dinars in cash.

- (10,000) US dollars or its equivalent in foreign currencies.

If the amount exceeds these limits, a disclosure form must be completed and submitted to the relevant customs officer.

The National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing concluded its statement by emphasizing that adherence to these procedures contributes, first and foremost, to protecting citizens from legal accountability or the confiscation of their funds. It also contributes to protecting the national economy and enhancing efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.
