In currency reporting scenarios, which actions are appropriate?

Currency reporting at the border hinges on declaring cash or monetary instruments above the reporting threshold and using questions about source and destination to decide if a report is needed. You must follow currency reporting requirements, ask about where the funds came from and where they’re going, and report to CBP if necessary. If the amount triggers the reporting or there are indicators of concealment, file the appropriate FinCEN form with CBP. Bypassing CBP reporting by ignoring the source, detaining the traveler without cause, or involving local authorities instead of CBP would not meet border currency procedures.
