In addition, 1 10,000 dollars also includes traveler's checks, cash checks, personal checks issued by others, and securities brought in and out of the United States.

Declaration method:

Fill in the Declaration Form FinCEN 105 truthfully when making the declaration. When asked by customs officers, they should honestly answer where the cash will be used and give a reasonable explanation. However, FinCEN 105 is not available in Chinese, which makes it difficult for people with poor English.

If you are too nervous, declare truthfully, but the communication is not good and the explanation is not clear, the customs may also have doubts, and then be invited to the little black room to continue communication. In order to avoid more troubles, you can apply for language translation when you enter the customs.
