Question: How much money am I allowed to bring into the U.S.?Oorspronkelijk geplaatst door tomba
Answer: There is no limit on the total amount of monetary instruments that may be brought into or taken out of the U.S. nor is it illegal to do so. However, if you transport or cause to be transported (be it by mail or any other means) more than US$10,000 in monetary instruments, you must declare it on Customs Declaration Form 6059B with U.S. Customs (Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act 31 USC 1101 et.sq.)
Failure to comply with the above can result in criminal and civil penalties, including seizure of the currency or monetary instruments.
Monetary instruments may be in the form of U.S. or foreign coins, currency, traveler’s checks, money orders and negotiable instruments or investment securities in bearer form.
