Does anyone have experience using global entry while also carrying an amount of currency that is required to declare? Does having global entry make it less of a pain or do you still have to jump through all the hoops and sign all the forms?
If you are travelling to/from USA or Canada, or other countries for that matter, currency laws need to be respected. That means - with or without a NEXUS card, if you are carrying in excess of the designated amount, you are still required to declare. Not doing so and getting caught will result in loss of your privlages granted by the card as well as possible levels of seizure.
So, to review Canada and USA practices.
When leaving the US with more than 10k USD, you must declare at the last port of exit, with US customs prior to leaving
When entering Canada with more than 10k CAD, you must declare upon entry.
Same rules apply in reverse.
To be more clear, you declare the value of all funds, regardless of country origin, at the rate if exchange in effect on the date of entry/exit. If you're close, declare anyways when dealing with multiple currencies.
