15.4 Freedom from customs inspection

The personal luggage of diplomats, career consular officers and their families is exempt from customs inspection. If there are serious grounds for suspicion that luggage contains articles that are prohibited to import or export, or articles other than those intended for the official use of the mission or personal use of a diplomatic agent, customs inspection may be required. In this case the inspection is carried out in the presence of the diplomatic agent or their authorised representative.
