How much does it cost to carry with you when traveling to Europe?

According to my country's customs regulations, citizens can carry cash of less than 20,000 yuan or US$5,000 when leaving the country (the equivalent foreign currency can be brought). However, customs in various countries have different regulations on the cash carried by inbound tourists. For example, European countries allow different amounts of cash to be brought into the country, but most of them are above 5,000 euros.

All tourists entering and exiting EU countries who carry 10,000 euros or more, or other currencies or property that can be easily converted into cash, such as bonds, stocks, traveler's checks, etc., must report to the Customs declaration can comply with the "EU Regulation (EC) No. 1889/2005" that came into effect on June 15, 2007. The purpose of this new regulation is to assist EU authorities in their efforts to combat money laundering, terrorism and other crimes. If you fail to complete the declaration or the declaration content is untrue, the cash you carry may be seized or confiscated, and you may be subject to corresponding penalties.

In some EU member countries, there may be different control and reporting rules for cash movement between countries. For example, the maximum limit in France is slightly lower than that in other EU countries, at 7,622 euros.

When traveling abroad, it is best not to carry or wear counterfeit brand-name bags, clothing, watches, etc., to avoid causing trouble, especially Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior ( Dior, Versace, Prada and other internationally renowned first-line brands. According to the laws of various European countries, if the goods are found to be fake, the carrier will face confiscation, fines and even jail time.

Compared with other European countries, France and Italy are places where brands and fashion gather. Brands are precisely the basis of value, and they have greater efforts to combat counterfeiting. At French airports, in addition to random inspections by "brand inspectors", customs officials and police will also conduct routine inspections. Compared with France, Italy's anti-counterfeiting laws are more stringent, imposing fines of up to 10,000 euros on those who purchase and use counterfeit brand-name products.

There are no strict drug control regulations in Europe, but in Greece, it is prohibited to carry and use any drugs containing cocaine, and the penalties for the unauthorized use of similar drugs by the relevant authorities are very severe.

European countries have stricter inspections of tobacco and alcohol. In Europe, one person can only bring up to 200 cigarettes (one carton), and alcohol with more than 10 degrees alcohol cannot exceed 500 ml. Otherwise, a fine of 50 to 200 euros will be imposed.

In current actual operations, most entry gates do not check cash carried with you. However, during major holidays such as Christmas and New Year, when it is possible to enter the country, inspections will be stepped up. It is generally recommended that customers bring 5,000-10,000 euros per person, which can be divided into suitcases, carry-on luggage, personal storage, etc. If a couple is traveling together, they can carry funds separately.
