Gold and Cash Limit in Domestic and International Flights

I just felt like sharing a trivia with you all as i came to know about the amount of gold and cash we can take along with ourselves. The amount of gold and cash you can carry on domestic and international flights depends on the airline and the country’s customs regulations. The information given below is the detailed description that can help you to know about the gold and cash limit in domestic and International flight.

I recently booked my flight tickets through Travomint and few knowledge about the gold and cash procedures i came to know from the article posted my Travomint so it will be helpful for you to know the same knowledge.

Domestic Flights:

Cash: In most countries, there is no specific limit on the amount of cash you can carry on domestic flights. However, if you're carrying a large sum (e.g., above $10,000 USD or its equivalent), you may need to declare it at the airport to prevent any suspicion of money laundering or other illegal activities.

Gold: You can carry gold in the form of jewelry, coins, or bullion, but it's generally advised not to exceed a reasonable personal use amount. For example, carrying gold worth over a certain threshold may require you to declare it with customs. Ensure the gold is stored safely, preferably in your carry-on, to prevent loss or theft.

International Flights:

Cash: Many countries require travelers to declare if they are carrying more than a specific amount of cash. For instance:

In the U.S., travelers must declare amounts over $10,000 USD (or the equivalent in other currencies) when entering or leaving the country.In India, the limit is also ₹25,000 INR for carrying cash without declaring it.

European Union countries typically require a declaration if you are carrying more than €10,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) in cash.

Gold:

You can carry gold jewelry on international flights for personal use. However, if you're carrying gold in large quantities, such as bullion or coins, you may need to declare it at customs and pay taxes or duties.

For example, in India, passengers are allowed to carry 1 kg of gold (for men) or 2 kg of gold (for women) as part of their personal luggage without attracting import duty. Anything beyond that would require duty payment.

Have a great journey ahead. Hope this information may help you and you all can comment down if i have missed any information. I would be really happy.
