Passengers Required to Declare Foreign Currencies at IKIA

Passengers must be declared the aggregate value of foreign currencies brought in or taken out of the country to the customs office of Imam Khomeini International Airport on a newly-launched website. 
According to Gholamreza Safari-Taheri, the director of the office, the website was designed in compliance with a decision by the Headquarters to Combat Smuggling of Goods and Foreign Exchange. 
The official noted that revenues gained by IKIA’s customs office increased by 12% in the last year (March 2020-21) despite an 80% decline in the number of flights due to restrictions imposed over Covid-19.
