Keep your luxuries to yourself in the DPRK

Do you know how the United Nations sanctions may affect you when traveling to North Korea?

The Australian government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade now warns its citizens to familiarize themselves with United Nations sanctions before they travel to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), especially when it comes to luxury goods.

According to the governmental advice, Australians are allowed to carry items on the luxury goods list for their personal use only. The sale or transfer of goods is strictly prohibited.

Not Australian? You should still known and understand the UN sanctions. Check your government advice for more information.
