Daily Business News Since September 1, the entry and exit restrictions for residents and non-residents carrying foreign currency cash have been relaxed, and the standards for both have been unified. The original lower limit of $2,000 has been raised to $5,000. Moreover, at the time of entry and exit customs clearance, only foreign currency cash carried by individuals is checked, and foreign currency payment vouchers such as bills of exchange and traveler's checks and foreign currency securities such as bonds and stocks are no longer checked.

The specific comparison between the old and new methods is as follows:
