- All types of ingots--including but not limited to silver, gold, and platinum--may be transported across the United States border.
- There are severe penalties for not declaring any amount of money exceeding $10,000 when crossing the border into the United States. The money can be seized and the person fined.
- Declare all monies, including ingots, exceeding $10,000 in value. Ask your U.S. Customs & Border Patrol agent for the most current declaration form.
