Reply to comment by squeevey in TIL that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong apparently filled out and signed customs forms when returning from the moon in 1969. by The_Critical_Cynic

By international treaty, the Moon is officially neutral territory and cannot be claimed by any country.
Therefore, going to the Moon is leaving the country, and upon returning, you must fill out the appropriate paperwork as you would in any other case.
