In a report published on January 2021, Inspector General for Afghanistan
Reconstruction said, that after the collapse of the Taliban regime, cash
smuggling out of Afghanistan has become a serious concern.

“Since the collapse of the Taliban regime in 2001, cash smuggling out of
Afghanistan’s international air and land ports has been a concern for the
Afghan government, the United States, and the international community. A
2011 Congressional Research Service study estimated that up to $4.5
billion was smuggled out of the country in a single year. According to a
2015 study by Integrity Watch Afghanistan, 65 percent of all cash leaving
Afghanistan was “illegally earned, transferred” or used. A significant
portion of that cash is tied to the opium trade, of which Afghanistan
produced 84 percent of the world’s supply from 2015 to 2020. Up to 85
percent of this poppy production occurs in areas controlled or influenced
by the Taliban, and the drug trade finances as much as half of the group’s
activities in Afghanistan”. John F. Sopko Special Inspector for Afghanistan
Reconstruction indicated.SIGAR tweeted that VIP passengers go through six
checkpoints and inspection sited, while and that VVIPS are not screened at
all.
