Ammon News -

The Customs Department on Sunday said it started the application of new measures consistent with the newly-passed Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Law (AML/CTF) No. 20 of 2021.

Under the new law, those coming to and leaving the Kingdom must disclose to customs officials their cash or convertible instruments if their value exceeds the amount specified in the law, i.e. 10,000 Jordanian dinars or its equivalent in foreign currencies. This disclosure also applies to physical cross-border transportation, including mail and freight.

The Customs Department warned that the failure to submit the disclosure or the disclosure was false, or it was suspected that the cash or convertible instruments were linked to money laundering, the associated predicate crime, or the financing of terrorism, are subject to legal accountability.
