Immigration - Cash

[gsin123 2]

Can someone please tell me how much money someone immigrating to the United States can bring with them?

And for the per person allowances, are there age restrictions as to who can bring how much?

Thanks!

"Please note that for international flights, you must report the transport of $10,000 USD or more to the US Customs Service." Found on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website.

Any amount in excess of 10K UDS has to be declared if brought in on you or wired into the US. You can bring as much as you have , just have to do a minor explanation of amounts over 10k ( it is supposed to slow up drug money )

There is no limit. You can bring as much as you want, you just need to declare over $10,000. This doesn't just apply to cash - it includes checks etc.

Any electronic transfer over $10,000 will be declared for you by the bank doing the transfer.

Hi,

There is no limit.

Each group (not each person) brining in more than $10,000 in cash, gold, etc. must declare it. If the money or valuables are not declared, it is forfeited to the U.S. Government.

Some countries can impose how much money you can take out

so check that out as well.
