since guys with ssn could have American credit cards. however, you can use debt card, or bring a visa/master card from china along with u. Bank of China doesn't have a limit as 5000. If you want to bring over 5000 usd abroad, you should get a permission from Bank of China. SAFE(state admisnistration of foreign exchange, a bureau of Chinese Gov) won't give you permission to take over 1w usd as cash to USA. you should declare to the CBP(bureau of US Gov) if you bring over 1w usd into USA, including moneny order,check,etc.. ======= i myself came to Bank of China and SAFE to ask about this issue and change my money, and got through the US custon several hours ago. You can find the words about money on CBP's website. |
