Traveler caught with excessive cash at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport
On September 30, the General Administration of Customs of China announced via its official information platform that recently, customs officials at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport seized a traveler attempting to bring an excessive amount of currency into the country. Over US$1.8 million was confiscated, equivalent to more than 12.6 million RMB.
While supervising an incoming flight, customs officers noticed abnormal images of a traveler's luggage in the "nothing to declare" channel. The images revealed many bundled rectangular paper-like items suspected to be currency. Upon further inspection, officers found the traveler's suitcase packed with bundles of US$100 and US$50.
Reminder:
According to relevant laws and regulations, cash currency is classified as a restricted item for entry and exit. Travelers carrying cash exceeding 20,000 RMB or foreign currency equivalent to more than $5,000 must truthfully declare it to customs and choose the "declaration channel" for clearance.
