Importaciones y aduanas — Oman

Use el canal rojo si lleva algo restringido. Introducir mercancías prohibidas o restringidas en Omán sin la aprobación ministerial exigida se considera contrabando, no un simple descuido administrativo: la multa parte del valor íntegro de la mercancía y cabe pena de prisión. También debe declarar efectivo, títulos al portador, metales preciosos o piedras preciosas por más de 6.000 riales omaníes (OMR).

Original (EN): Take the red channel if you are carrying anything restricted. Bringing prohibited or restricted goods into Oman without the required ministry approval is treated as smuggling, not a paperwork slip - the fine starts at the full value of the goods and prison is on the table. Cash, bearer securities, precious metals or gemstones over OMR 6,000 must also be declared.

Attempting to bring prohibited or restricted goods into Oman in violation of law is a smuggling offence under Articles 142-143 of the GCC Common Customs Law (Art. 143(12) expressly covers transporting or acquiring prohibited or restricted goods without evidence supporting their legal importation). Where the smuggled goods are prohibited goods, Article 145(4) sets a fine of not less than the value of the goods and not more than three times that value, plus imprisonment of not less than six months and not more than three years, or either penalty. Failure to declare cash, traveller's cheques or precious metals is an offence under Article 53 of the Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Law.
