According to the resolution, duty-free import limits for goods brought into the country for personal use and non-commercial purposes have been established as follows:

• Air transport: $1,000 (previously $2,000).
• Railway and river transport: $500 (previously $1,000).
• Automobile checkpoints (on foot or by vehicle): $300.
• International courier shipments: $200 per quarter (previously $1,000 per quarter).
• International postal shipments: $100 (unchanged).

Additionally, the following conditions apply:

• For goods imported via railway, river transport, or automobile checkpoints, duty-free limits will not apply if the individual has stayed abroad for less than two days.
• For goods transported by air, duty-free limits will not apply if the individual has been abroad for less than three days.
• In such cases, the goods will be considered over the duty-free limit, and a single customs duty will be charged on the total value.

These measures aim to regulate imports and ensure more efficient management of goods crossing the country’s customs borders.
