Hi , recently I was travelling back from Monastir with 3500 US dollars and I I did not declare while entering the country as I did not know the rules. While flying back from Monastir they seized 3000 US dollars and gave me 1500 back with a receipt in Arabic and they said I have 1 month to come back to monastir airport with a receipt from my bank stating proof that I exchanged this currency from them and take my 3000 dollars back.

anyone have any information about this or can help in any way would be highly appreciated.

@devjavia1603 Usually, a law firm in Tunisia, will negotiate with them to conclude a settlement with the Tunisian customs, in which part of the amount is deducted for the benefit of the general treasury of the Tunisian state.

has anybody got any information about the Customs taking money? Is it one month or three months to get it back? Is there any solicitors that can fight this? They have taken £1500 help from anyone thank you.
