or travellers cheques in checked baggage.

yourself in case of loss or theft.

of checked and carry-on luggage.
Use your Business Address, if possible, on your luggage.

and jewellery with Customs, before departing. (It also saves you import fees
when you return)
Consider purchasing special international health insurance
and medical evaluation plan programmes.
Plan to travel in comfortable, casual clothing to avoid attracting
attention.
Staying Safe
Never leave your luggage, briefcase or other items unattended.
When you set them down,place them between your feet, or against your leg.
Watch your carry-on items closely when they go through security;
Thieves are known to take items off the end of the unit while you are held
up in the screening process.
Avoid currency exchange windows if possible, or exchange only
a small amount. Do not let others see how much currency you are carrying.
Be wary of imposter porters. Assure they are properly uniformed
or identified.
Note how many pieces of luggage and other items you brought
with you, and count them each time they are handled.
Use only authorised, properly identified taxis and buses. Avoid
taxis that pick up additional passengers.
Assure that the whole luggage is placed inside the taxi trunk
and the lid is closed before entering the taxi.
Don't accept an offer to share a taxi to your hotel unless
you know the individual.
