- - - - What must I declare?
        
        It's very important to know what you must declare or reveal on an official CBP declaration form (informally called the "customs form") before re-entering the country by plane or ship. You may bring foreign currency back into the United States, but you must declare all monetary instruments including traveler's checks, money orders, gold coins, cash, checks, promissory notes, securities or stocks. There is no limit to the amount of money that can be brought across the U.S. border, but if you have more than $10,000 you must report it to the CBP on your declaration form.
        
        Anything you bought (including from duty-free shops or on a ship or airplane)
        
        Anything you inherited or received as a gift (you'll have to estimate the fair market price of the gift)
        
        Anything you brought home for a friend
        
        Anything you plan to use or sell in your business
        
        Alterations or repairs to anything you took abroad and brought back
        
        All this means that you should save your sales receipts (no matter what language or currency) in case you're asked to produce them and that you should pack the items you're declaring separately (perhaps in a carry-on bag) in case officials want to see them.
        
        Once you present your form listing your items to declare, the U.S. Customs agent will place the ones with the highest rate of duty under your exemption. Then, after subtracting your exemptions and the value of any duty-free items, a flat 3 percent rate will be charged on the next $1,000 worth of merchandise (The rate drops to 1.5 percent if coming from insular possessions). Any dollar amount beyond this $1,000 will be charged at the applicable duty rates.
