Bringing financial assets to the US

I certainly won't be carrying much - rather safer to do a fund transfer. I really must ring up XE and find out if you can forward buy at fixed rates.

There is no maximum you can carry in hand on the plane. If you were crazy enough to carry a million in your pocket, it is allowed. You report anything over $10k to CBP when you enter.

Maybe I am using the wrong term. It is my understanding that anything under $10,000 is allowed without needing to report it so we were careful to transfer less than 10k at a time until it was all moved here.If we brought 10k or more we would have needed to file a US Treasury FinCEN Form 105, that legally declares the currency he was traveling internationally with in excess of US$10,000.

I did read on TSA site that you can be questioned if you have what they deem a large sum.
