Pesos On The Plane Info.

From what I understand, you can take up to 10k (equivalent to dollars) on the plane..

Has anyone tried this and had issues?

I generally would have no problem but I tried to open a bank account here, and as a permanent resident, I could not unless I provide proof of a job here.....The policies here make me weary about anything.

I have brought in that amount, in dollars, and never been questioned.

Has anyone experienced this traveling as a "family" and transporting over 10,000? My husband (from here) and I (American) want to take a bunch of cash to the US to deposit in my bank acct there but I've read if you're traveling together you're limited to 10,000 together. And I know that you can fill out a form to report that you're bringing more. What happens if you do this? Are you eventually taxed for that money? Thanks!

There are people here in BA that [for a small fee] will wire the funds into your US account. Nice and easy no airline risks etc.

Considering half the people on this board are trying to get more USD here from their accounts overseas it is very obvious what to do.

It you carry more than $10 K you must declare it

It you carry more than $10 K you must declare it

Yes, I know you have to declare it but my two questions: 1) Can a family only carry $10,000 together? or each of us can carry $10,000 and 2) What happens if you declare it? Are you taken to a back room and interrogated and later you receive something from the IRS about paying taxes on it?

I am flying home next week , I'll be happy to carry some $$ for you !!

Each adult can carry 10k. Check regulations for kids. They can be allotted a specific amount. Do not declare it if you are worried. If they catch you , the fine is only 50%. As for the IRS , even if you file the form , turn it in to customs , and they search you to be sure that is all you are carrying , by the time the IRS gets the form , if they do at all , you wont hear anything for a while. If you do.........

Then , you can consult with a CPA.
