Can I bring gold on a plane?

According to current regulations, airlines allow passengers to bring gold jewelry on board and there is no limit on gold bars when flying domestic flights, but the quantity is limited when flying international flights.

Gold jewelry is also known as fine art gold jewelry, made of gold metal with a gold content of 8K (equivalent to 33.33% pure gold) or more.

According to state regulations, for domestic flights, there is no prohibition or limit on the amount of gold worn on board the plane. Therefore, customers can bring unlimited gold jewelry.

For international flights, wearing gold jewelry on the plane is regulated to not exceed 300g.

This restriction is to help customers protect their own assets. To avoid bad situations, passengers should keep gold jewelry in their luggage for better protection.

Notes when bringing gold jewelry on the plane

If you bring gold on a plane, you need to pay attention to the following issues to ensure your rights and interests, and avoid breaking the law.

Regulations in Article 2 of Circular 11/2014/TT-NHNN on carrying gold when entering and exiting the country with passport are as follows:

Vietnamese individuals and foreign individuals entering or exiting the country with passports are not allowed to carry gold bars or raw gold. In case foreign individuals enter Vietnam carrying gold bars or raw gold, they must go through procedures to deposit them at the customs warehouse and bear all related costs incurred.

Vietnamese and foreign individuals exiting or entering the country with passports carrying gold jewelry or fine art with a total weight of 300g or more must declare to customs authorities.

Thus, when carrying gold on international flights, in case of entry, the gold limit is only 300g and it is necessary to go through procedures to deposit it at the customs warehouse according to the provisions of the law on baggage.

To carry more gold than the above weight, you need to have a full license from the director of the State Bank branch in the province or city where you reside, to report to the customs authority.

Penalties for bringing gold on board

Carrying gold jewelry on the plane but not declaring it when the quantity exceeds the limit will be handled differently. First, clarify the quantity and origin of the gold, silver, and precious stones you bring. If the origin is clear, you will only be fined the corresponding amount according to the provisions of state law under the section "not declaring sensitive luggage allowed to be carried on the itinerary".

In case you cannot prove the origin and quantity of the gold, it will be confiscated and handed over to the police for investigation. In the most severe penalty situation, it will be classified as illegal smuggling and there are corresponding regulations on this issue. Customers need to pay attention to avoid unnecessary risky situations.
