Customs
A written baggage declaration must be submitted to a customs officer upon entry. Passengers must clear customs through either green, white, or red channels. Passengers who have no articles to declare should use the green channel. If a passenger declares non-duty-free articles voluntarily, the declared amount will be accepted and the clearance procedure will be expedited.
