According to the "Customs release", when Huanggang Customs officers were supervising passengers at the Huanggang Port Passenger Inspection and Departure Hall, they found a female passenger leaving the country through the "no declaration channel". The machine inspection image of her luggage was abnormal, so she was intercepted and inspected.
After further inspection, a large amount of Hong Kong dollars was seized in the bag carried by the passenger. The inspection found that the passenger was a passenger who entered and exited the country multiple times within 15 days, and the currency cash she carried exceeded the prescribed limit.
The mainland customs reminded that according to relevant regulations, the limit for passengers leaving the country for the second time or more within 15 days to carry Hong Kong dollar cash is the equivalent of US$1,000. Customs will not release passengers who exceed the limit. If you really need to carry a large amount of cash exceeding the limit, you should apply for a permit to carry foreign exchange out of the country in advance from the foreign exchange management department or bank.
