What amount of cash I can take with me when going from Canada to USA? I want to travel to US and want to take ~ 12000$ with me. DO I need to declare it and pay any fee?

Travelers leaving or entering the U.S. with more than $10,000 (in any form, that includes cash or checks) are required to declare it by filling out a Report of International Transportation of Currency or Monetary Instruments (FinCEN 105). This applies even if you are passing through the U.S. in transit to other countries. Source: eHow |

In addition to HaLaBi's point that the US cares you are taking more than $10,000 out of the USA, Canada cares that you are bringing more than $10,000 in. The form you will fill out on arrival is at http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/e311-eng.pdf and you can see they want to know if you have that amount of cash on you. According to http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/security-securite/cbcr-dmte/menu-eng.html you don't have to pay any fee, and you are allowed to bring the money, but you MUST tell them about it. Just allow some time to have a conversation with the CBSA on arrival. |
