It is of no surprise that when you are going on a vacation or even a business trip, you tend to carry cash on yourselves. There are custom duties on the amount of cash you can carry to certain state and if you want to have this money all to yourself without having to pay the fine of carrying more than require, you should go through the list bellow.
If you are carrying local or foreign currency within an EU country, no custom implications are levied on you. However, if you are arriving from outside EU, the maximum EUR you can carry are 10,000. USA has different rules as to what local or foreign currency you are allowed to carry. They do not allow a person to carry more the 10,000 USD. Canada has set a value for the visitors with a CAN $ 10,000 and that is the maximum limit that you can have. Brazil on the other hand allows you to carry up to Brazilian Real, known as BRL, or any other currency up to the limits of BRL 10,000. When in UAE, there are import regulations only that allow only AED 40,000 and if you have more than that, you must tell the Customs Officer as soon as you arrive. Singapore allows carrying up to SGD 30,000 whereas Indonesia allows an equivalent of IDR 100,000,000, only after declaring that you have this amount. Thailand allows only THB 50,000 per person and THB 100,000 for every family. Hong Kong does not have any restrictions but China allows 20,000 of their own local currently and USD 5000 only. If you have more money on you, declare it as soon as you arrive. Australia allows AUD 10,000 and not more than that.
These countries have been targeted because they are known to be a popular tourist attraction. In addition, business deals are also very common for these countries and that is why the Customs Office has levied a limit on the visitors. Most of the time, the export duties are also the same and these limitation are to be declared through the Red Channel.
