david_dawei Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 So if two people were traveling together, each could bring in just under $10K and not have to declare it ? Link to comment
Dan R Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 That's the gist of it. Of course it is up to you to make the declaration. Did you include the 100 $5 bills under your hat? Link to comment
david_dawei Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I think the thing to do is to have some pants custom made of only $100 bills .. and wear it over there.. no one's going to believe they are real.. but you'll get a lot of looks ! Link to comment

Randy W Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 from robsnanningsite.com: Customs Declarations As of July 1st, 2005 you can no longer make verbal declarations at mainland (China) customs. Now upon arrival, and at departure, you must fill out a declaration form. Travelers will have to indicate if they are bringing a camera and the total value of goods they are bringing into or taking out of China. The evaluation will be based on receipts. If you don't have a receipt customs will value the item themselves and if they do you could be forced to pay a duty. Because of this new policy I suggest you declare everything you will be taking of value here in the states before you go as well. Take receipts and make sure you get a receipt when you buy something in China. If you do this and are honest with Chinese customs officials, you shouldn't have any problems concerning customs.

whatsthehaps Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hello, I am new here and am visiting China (Shenzhen mainly) for the first time this July. Has anyone thought about openning an account with the Bank of China in the USA? Here is a link http://www.bocusa.com/bocny/ I am sure I will have questions, I am trying to get all my information together. The lady I am seeing was also a teacher and joined the Communist Party for a better position. When I told her I was concerned she quit. I will follow some of the posts on here to start I guess. Take care Link to comment
vibes1313 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I had $1200. of my travel money rejected by BOC last year but was able to deposit it a little at a time when the tellers could recognize me. I also read about the new declaration forms in the newspaper. The deal is, with 1000 people crossing the border a minute, they really don't have time to read these. When I fill them out without my glasses they couldn't read it anyway. Link to comment
