Extended data:

It's too much trouble to declare, but a lot of cash is needed in America. What should I do?

1, direct withdrawal by UnionPay debit card

When you arrive in the United States, you can find an ATM (Citigroup or China Trust) with the UnionPay logo and withdraw US dollars at the exchange rate of the day, but you need to pay a certain handling fee.

2. Open an account in Bank of America and transfer money from China.

Just bring your passport and domestic ID card or driver's license when you go through the formalities.

The disadvantages of this operation are also obvious. Remittance banks will charge 3% international remittance fee, and cable fees and receiving banks will also charge a certain fee.

3. Cash withdrawal with dual-currency credit card

The disadvantage is that the handling fee is relatively expensive, but if you can swipe your card, the dual-currency credit card is the most convenient.
