What?!! I would rather be deported than leaving $15k for the bloody Americans.

YorubaWarrior:
The funny thing is they're biased with this thing. Many people travel with >$10K everytime and never had to report their cash whereas they just randomly pick on pple. Pure Systematic Prejudice!

I was on my way home 2yrs ago to 9ja and, while on-boarding the plane, a K-9 sniffer dog sniffed me and was asked to strip in a private room. I was asked the amt with me which I revealed. Every single amount was manually counted. They later found some change in my back pocket and told me everything could have been forfeited cuz of the change (<$80).

There must always be a scape goat

Last year on my trip to 9ja, I even had way more and no sniffer dog, no hassle, I went without any obstruction.

US Customs and Border Protection officers at Baltimore Airport have seized over $15,000 of undeclared cash from a Nigerian couple at the airport.

The Nigerians, according to reports, arrived from London but failed to declare the exact amount of money they had with them.

US Customs seize $15,860 undeclared cash from Nigerian couple

The couple had reported to CBP officers that they possessed $15,000. However, officers discovered an additional $5,850 in the woman’s purse.

The officers seized the $20,850 and then released $4,990 to the couple as humanitarian relief. The officers also released the couple to continue their visit, saving them from criminal prosecution.

The Nigerians were not identified in a press statement issued on Tuesday.

US Customs said it is perfectly legal to carry large sums of currency in or out of the United States.

However, federal law requires that travellers who possess $10,000 or more in currency or other monetary instruments must report it all to a CBP officer at the airport, seaport, or land border crossing when entering or leaving the country.

Customs and Border Protection officers are highly trained to uncover illicit activity and they are committed to enforcing the laws of the United States.

“Customs and Border Protection officers are highly trained to uncover illicit activity and they are committed to enforcing the laws of the United States,” said Casey Durst, CBP’s Field Operations Director in Baltimore.

“Unreported currency often can be proceeds from alleged illicit activity, or used to fund transnational criminal organisations and I commend our officers on this interception”.

CBP recently issued travel tips for international travel through BWI. Chiefly among those tips is for travellers to truthfully report all currency they possess to a CBP officer during inspection.

Consequences for violating U.S. currency reporting laws are severe; penalties may include seizure of most or all of the traveler’s currency, and potential criminal charges.

CBP uses a variety of techniques to intercept narcotics, unreported currency, weapons, counterfeit consumer goods, prohibited agriculture, and other illicit products, and to assure that global tourism remains safe and strong.

On a typical day, CBP seizes an average of about $290,000 in unreported or illicit currency along the nation’s borders.

Enriching a "conehead" who owns this website while impoverishing yourself is the height of stupidity to me.

But i don't blame you, you guys are smart enough to vote in statue builders and kerosene distributors

gypsey:
why not? America is not the only country on earth to visit.

Very unfair, confiscating their money

smartsk:
Will the money be returned to the owners?

AllenSpencer:
I die dere.
Make dem give me back my money and deport me.

ultimatebas:
They are suppose to seize the excess of about $5000 the woman was with and not seizing the $15,000 they declared. From what i have watched on DSTV's BORDER SECURITY- America Frontline, they will warn you first ,then if it is repeated the second time,they will confiscate your undeclared amount.

vicfajeze:

Admin401:
So, you are complaining that they didn't arrest you the second time? I really can't understand your thought process here. It's either you're one self destructive person wishing harm on yourself, or you're just trying to show off that you travel to and from US.
