Article 11 of the Saudi Counter-Terrorism Law Implementing Regulations

This article deals with the role of the General Authority of Customs where terrorism financing is suspected in funds and valuables passing through points of entry.

1. Scope of application: Customs, within its powers under the Law, applies the provisions of Article (17) of the Law where a case of terrorism financing is suspected, whether a true or false declaration was made or none was made. That is, making a true declaration does not prevent the application of these provisions if there is suspicion.
2. Requesting information: Customs asks the person carrying the suspected currencies, bearer negotiable instruments, gold bars, precious metals, precious stones or worked jewelry for any information it considers necessary, such as its source or purpose.
3. The report: Customs draws up a report of the case including the grounds for suspicion, a list of the items seized, any relevant information, and the measures taken.
4. Additional measures: Customs may take whatever measures it sees fit to ensure that it carries out its tasks in combating terrorism financing.

The available text does not set out Article 17 of the Law, and does not specify particular amounts that must be declared. A traveler found with funds or jewelry should consult a lawyer specialized in criminal cases.
