According to the provisions of my country's "Interim Measures for the Entry and Exit Management of Carrying Foreign Currency Cash", if you carry foreign currency cash out of the country for a single time, if you carry the equivalent of 5,000 US dollars or less, you do not need to declare to the customs; if you carry the total amount, you do not need to declare to the customs; If the amount exceeds the equivalent of 5,000 U.S. dollars and is less than 10,000 U.S. dollars, you must apply for a "Permit to Carry Foreign Exchange Out of the Country" (referred to as "Carrying Permit") from the bank, and the customs will release it.
The procedure for applying for a "Portability Permit" is: prepare materials, including passport, valid visa or endorsement, deposit certificate (interest statement or withdrawal receipt) or relevant foreign exchange purchase vouchers. If you withdraw foreign currency cash from the foreign exchange deposits of immediate relatives, you should also provide proof of kinship (marriage certificate, household register or notarial certificate). Outbound personnel should apply for a "Porting Permit" with the deposit bank or foreign exchange purchasing bank with the above-mentioned review materials. After the bank verifies that the materials provided by the outbound personnel are correct, it will issue a "Carrying Permit" to them and keep copies of the above materials for 5 years for future reference. The customs will release the goods based on this "Carrying Permit". When a bank issues a "Carrying Permit" to an outbound person, it shall not exceed the amount of the bank's deposit certificate or the amount of foreign exchange purchased. The amount of each "Porting Permit" issued by the bank shall not exceed the equivalent of US$10,000. The "Carrying Permit" should be stamped with the "State Administration of Foreign Exchange Approval Seal for Carrying Foreign Exchange Outbound" or the "Bank's Special Seal for Carrying Foreign Exchange Outbound", and is valid for one use within 30 days from the date of issuance, and will become invalid upon expiration.
For those who use multiple "Carrying Permits", if the cumulative total of the "Carrying Permits" stamped with bank seals exceeds the equivalent value of 10,000 US dollars, the customs will not release it.
According to regulations, in principle, each person leaving the country is not allowed to carry more than the equivalent of 10,000 US dollars in foreign currency cash out of the country. If there are special circumstances, you can apply for a "Carrying Permit" to the foreign exchange bureau where the deposit or foreign exchange purchasing bank is located. The materials you need to prepare are basically the same as the above. After the foreign exchange bureau verifies that the materials provided by the outbound personnel are correct, if they meet the prescribed conditions, they will apply to them. A "Carrying Permit" will be issued, and copies of the written application and other materials will be retained for 5 years for future reference. The customs will release the goods based on this "Carrying Permit".
