from Quartz:

"Like any other American returning home from a business trip out of the country, former NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin filled out an expense report and a customs form when he came back from the moon. Aldrin—the second man to step foot on the lunar surface, after Neil Armstrong—recently shared the paperwork on Facebook. The records include signatures from Aldrin and a Honolulu customs inspector, and one of the most unusual itemized itineraries in history: Florida to Moon to Pacific Ocean to Hawaii, and then back home to Houston ...

"Aldrin was reimbursed exactly $33.31 (about $215 in today’s dollars) for 'travel expenses'"....

Aldrin also had to declare the moon rocks he brought back to customs.
The forms are included in the link.
