I think I’ve been asked a couple times in maybe 9-10 flights so it’s not always an obvious question over the usual what you here for, how long you staying. But I guess it depends on who’s working that day.

The 8059B referred to earlier is the old white customs form, which had a yes/no question for have you got over 10K. It was worded as "I am (we are) carrying...", so that if you filled out the one joint form, it became 10k between you.
Since they did away with that form they will either rely on the officer checking, or you may have an obligation to declare it. I suspect that if you're marginally over and there's 2 of you, the officer will treat it as separate forms as it's less hassle. The ESTA is a completely separate process to the customs declaration. It is all about requesting permission to travel to the US. ESTA's are all applied for and issued individually, although they do allow you to group individual applications for the purpose of paying for a few at once in a single transaction.

Personally I’d never travel with that amount of cash.
Usually it 2 or 3 hundred dollars between the two of us, then the rest on CCs ( which we have three, in case of problems with the first one. My reasoning is that if the cash was lost, stolen, burnt etc, I’ve lost it all. But if the same happens to a CC then it’s the banks problem, not mine. It happened to me in Brazil. I had a brand new card compromised in the hotel on its first use. Barclaycard had a new one delivered to me in my hotel within 24 hrs, and was given a cash float immediately from the hotel that was covered by Barclaycard, until the new card arrived. If it was cash, basically I would have been in a foreign country withno means ofgetting anything. |

We are never wealthy enough to have 10k in cash but I watch far too many borderforce Canada and USA to see how many people actually don’t declare and the grilling they get and possibly seizure of money at the end 😃

Cash declaration exists at £10,000 when leaving the UK as well. That is per family or group traveling.
gov.uk/bringing-cash-into-uk Although the link saying bringing it in when you clock it goes on to talk about the link leaving as well. It’s there as part of money laundering prevention and under Proceeds of Crime Act. Most people will be able to prove they have their money from legitimate means but seizure of cash does happen outbound as well as inbound. Actually POCA Provisions allow seizure of cash over £1000 if it’s suspected of being linked to criminal enterprises. It’s a very powerful piece of legislation. Edited at 10:31 AM. |

Hi Fordie - when we carried cash it was in Eagle Creek body belts. You/your family group may bring more than $10k into the US but declare it to the admitting immigration officer, who may refer you to Secondary where you will complete form FinCEN Form 105 (click HERE)
Have a smashing holiday Fordie

Welcome to the DIBB
You have seen my posts on here then. That's encouraging. For a while I thought they'd they'd become invisible? Retired four years ago from 50+ years as a QS bonny lass that's why I never answer any building questions. Mick

So we just fill the form in that’s it? Will I need to show proof of where it came from?
We just don’t want to be randomly selected and then we said no on the declaration...
