Gathering on a trip or on vacation, we are certainly going to bring souvenirs to memory. Moreover, such souvenirs ideally should remind us that the country where we fly, that is, be unique and characteristic.
But such items often fall under the category "National Treaty", and they are prohibited by export. If they detect them in your baggage, then simple confiscation is you still very easy to finish. For trying to take out some souvenirs you can threaten a big penalty or even imprisonment!
We will not consider here weapons and drugs. Casually touch the items of antiques, because they can not be exported from almost any country. And all your objections like: "Yes, I bought this thing in the bazaar, she cannot represent any historical value!" must be reinforced documented. That is, you need to have a certificate certifying that your souvenir is either a fake, or really an old thing, but the values \u200b\u200bnot representing and therefore the national doctrine is not.
And since no other street trader of such a certificate is issued to you, then buy antiques is best in museum shops where this service is provided. So you will kill two hares at once: and get the original, not a fake, and guaranteed to bring it home without any problems.
Another important category of problem souvenirs is alive souvenirs. A few years ago, the story of Vladimir Efremova was incurred: he went to jail in Madagascar for an attempt to take a rare butterfly for his collection. Very many countries prohibit the export of living representatives of flora and fauna, in addition, and when importing to Ukraine, let's say, live orchids or live binturong, you will encounter problems. We will have to receive a phytosanitary or veterinary certificate, but for now you will receive it, your live souvenir can perish on a customs warehouse.
But besides common places (weapons, drugs, antiques, flora and fauna) there are also specific banning for the export of certain things without a special permission of the relevant services that it is difficult to get. And we want to tell about them first, because it is just the category at which inexperienced travelers and tourists are most often.
Dominican Republic
The export of more than 50 cigars is prohibited from the country. In addition, it is forbidden to export a cash national currency (Dominican Peso). The same ban on the export of national currency exists in Indiaand on Sri Lanka. Try to have time to spend or exchange on the convertible currency all your pesos and rupees even before you go to the airport. Or, if you strongly want to bring home numismatic souvenirs, be prepared for what you can confiscate them.
Egypt
It is forbidden to export any items from the Red Sea, even alive, even treated (fine over $ 500). It causes this prohibition by the fact that if each tourist breaks into a piece of coral, then in twenty years later, tourists can stop riding. Remember that from Egypt is forbidden to export not only corals, but also sinks, even if you have not pulled them out of the sea, and found on the beach or bought from merchants. Similar ban acts in Jordania.
Israel
It is forbidden to export any untreated products of the Dead Sea from this country. Salt crystals, a piece of dead mud, you must confiscate a bottle with domeora water, especially since the security rules at Israel airports are the most stringent in the world. No matter how carefully you hidden forbidden to export things, employees of the Betachon service will still find them.
It is best to buy factory-based Israeli cosmetics based on the Dead Sea salts. It is possible to export without problems, and it is the best in the world.
Kenya
Special permission is required for the export of animal skins, ivory products and other animal bones. Be careful when buying souvenirs from Masayev and other tribes.
Cuba
It is forbidden to export books until 1940, precious metals and stones, philatelic and numismatic collections.
Maldives
Customs will not give good to export of any products from corals and turtle shells.
Malta
Maltese beaches of Ramla Il-Hamra and San Blas are covered with the unique sand of the "red-colored in the world". Collect and export sand from these beaches is prohibited by Maltese laws.
Italy
From the island of Sardinia, it is forbidden to export a sheep cheese Cas Martz. This cheese, the cultural heritage of Italy, is known for the fact that it contains living larvae of cheese flies. Because Casa Martz and how delicacy is very dubious, so better leave it in his homeland, in Sardinia.
Malaysia
From the territory of Malaysia, it is strictly forbidden to export rattans - purified and dried Calamus stems. If you want to have a rating chair or other furniture at home - buy a ready-made product.
New Zealand
Here is one of the most illogical and mysterious prohibitions. With its national domain, New Zealanders consider Kiwi fruit, so their export from the islands is prohibited. It is unlikely that any of the tourists will suffer greatly from the confiscation of kiwi fruit, because they can always be bought in any supermarket. But there they will not be new wax, but most likely Turkish ...
Thailand
From this Eastern Kingdom, like from many other countries, it is impossible to export products from ivory and turtle shells, raw corals ... and now attention! It is forbidden to export objects from Thailand with the image of the Thai flag and religious symbols. Even a small statue of Buddha can confiscate. It is allowed to export only small jewelry with Buddhist symbolism.
Turkey
In this country, very strict prohibitions associated with the export of historical artifacts, and local customs fulfill them in good faith. Every year, tourists come across "pebbles", which someone just found on earth, and someone bought from souvenirs from traders. Exportation of everything that can at least remotely resemble an antique period artifact, quite fraught, and it is better not to risk. Violators are often forced to spend several days behind the bars while the proceeding is. Even if the authorities establish that pebbles do not represent historical value, your vacation will be hopelessly spoiled. And if you really tried to take an antiquity, then the court is waiting for you and at least a suspended period.
And, for a snack, the most amazing ban. That you would definitely never come to mind.
Mongolia
Here are prohibited for the export of dinosaurs eggs. In some places, the Gobi's desert find the eggs of dinosaurs, as well as their bones, is not very difficult. But on the departure, your baggage will carefully look at, and all paleontological, mineralogical and other natural values, which are the property of Mongolia, in it will remain.
That's what you need to know not to give yourself serious problems in other countries and do not spend money on the fact that you will not be able to take away from there. And if you want to fully protect your souvenir shopping, make them in the free trade zones located at the departure airport. Rent a luggage, get a boarding pass - and forth on souvenir shopping! Here everything can be bought and exported.
Otherwise, it is possible that for their actions on the principle of "with the world on the thread" you will have to answer in unexpected laws for us. By the way, out Algeria It is forbidden to export a thread. This also keeps in mind.
