How much cash are you permitted to take out of China when flying out of the country?
During my eight years living in Shanghi, China, my experience about exiting the airport with cash is as follows:For U. S. dollars, the officially stated limit is $5,000. However I have taken out between $10,000 and $20,000 several times over the years, and never had any problem. Nor have I ever been questioned. Neither have I ever noticed any other traveler being questioned about cash they were carrying.What the airport screeners in China really don’t like is cigarette lighters, which are prohibitted, ha ha! They WILL make a big fuss if you try to sneak one by them!What I do when carrying large amounts of cash is split the total into two different wallets, and send them through the ex ray machine seperarely. And I try to bury the wallets snugly inside my carryons. That way, the screeners don’t see a big cash wad all bunched together.I don’t like having to do this, but I have no choice. China controls the outflow of money very tightly. What a pain!!!
