How much cash can you take into Brazil?

GuestPoster204

You can bring an equivalent of 10,000reais in foreign currency to Brazil. That is the sum of all cash, checks and traveler´s checks in your possession upon entry. In reality you can bring more than that WITHOUT incurring taxes or penalty AS LONG AS you
declare them upon entry! If you don´t you risk the excess amount of being confiscated
by the RFB (Receita Federal Brasileira).

As said $R10,000, reals anything over must be declare or it will be taxed or forfeited,
Last june I was way over returning from Las Vegas, but I declared the funds and had a US tax form in hand.
