Can I fly with 500 cash?
How much money do you have to declare when you travel to or from the U. S. If you are traveling with an excess of $10,000, you must report it to a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer when you enter or exit the U. S. But there is no limit to the amount of money you can travel with. If you fail to report to CBP that you are bringing more than $10,000 through customs or do so fraudulently, the penalties may include: Confiscation of all currency or monetary instruments. A fine of up to $500,000. Up to 10 years of imprisonment.
