The TSA loves to take people with lots of cash into a room and interrogate them. "Where did you get that money? You're a drug dealer." I wonder what their cash threshold is for this kind of thing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcSSwW4K4AU&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2Fvideosearch%3Fq%3Dtsa%2Bcell%2Bphone%2B%26hl%3Den%26emb%3D0%26aq%3Df&feature=player_embedded |

I think that just under $10,000 is the LEGAL amount you can carry without proper documentation.....however, the HASSLE-FREE amount could be much less. A good excuse to use, is that you are looking to buy a retirement or vacation house in CR, and have brought cash for a deposit.

what if you took out of usa 10 gold bars worth $9000, do you think that would confuse them and cost you a delay? |

Max without declaring is $10K USD in efectivo. Open a bank account with HSBC or Scotia Bank and wire transfer what you want. Anything over $5K will send up a red flag. Now for added working cash flow bring CC's and work the ATM's up to about $200 USD per day per card. If you need a really large amount, mirror Colonel Olie Norte's model from the '80's and... You should be good to go. |

No confusion at all. Definitely Lose your gold and maybe go to jail if you cross the $10,000 threshold. Other than that they will just look at you real hard. FYI: 1. There is no limit on the amount of money that can be taken out of or brought into the United States. However, if a person or persons traveling together and filing a joint declaration (CBP Form 6059-B) have $10,000 or more in currency or negotiable monetary instruments (like gold coins), they must fill out a "Report of International Transportation of Currency and Monetary Instruments" You cannot successfully rationalize that gold bars are exempt. It has been tried. |

what i meant was if declared and not trying to hide anything, would the custom agents give me a hard time through stupidity or just lack of understanding and wanting to "clear up" things?? |

If you declare it on the right form it is a non-issue. |
