This question has probably been answered before, but does anybody know how much cash in US Dollars you can take out of the Domnican Republic in person? We are German/British and will have tourist visas.
And who do you report it to........?
When you are on the plane you are given a small form to fill out.
If you are carrying more than 10,000 and don't declare it, customs will confiscate all your money "IF YOU ARE SEARCHED".
US$10,000 per Family, in or out.
But if you plan to carry more than that I would highly recommend that you convert the cash into Checks of some type, not made out to "cash", but to yourself or anybody else is ok and does not need to be DECLARED.
So, I just want to be clear on this one! You say that Checks certified over $10.000 do not need to be declared...
Just put it in your sock.

But you don't want to do this, just take checks and do not mention anything to customs, let them find it if they can. They won't.

"Travelers who deliberately refuse to comply with currency reporting requirements run the risk of losing their currency, and criminal charges, as this couple has learned," said Stephen Dearborn, acting port director for the Port of Baltimore. "The easiest way to hold on to your currency is to report it. It's that simple."
"The Ameens arrived at BWI on April 9, 2010. CBP officers referred the couple to a secondary inspection after the Ameens claimed they carried monetary instruments that exceeded $10,000. During a secondary inspection, the couple repeatedly claimed only $30,000 even after CBP officers offered them numerous opportunities to amend their declaration. CBP officers discovered a total of $121,600, seized the currency and then provided the Ameens with a $1,000 humanitarian release."
