Comment on Why do airports place a cap on 10,000 USD for undeclared cash?

It’s like if some one has 800 Chanel Handbags & 200 Hermès watches and mens footwear combined totalling to $50,000 in value stuffed onto mutiple huge suitcases and attempts to travel with that since huge stacks of cash will be flagged, so accessories are used to bring in money.
Depending on the countries, you might end up paying import taxes on that.

In certain scenarios I wouldn’t even be able to take my other phone or a tablet with me, because a lot of airports/customs consider only 1 phone as “essential” and not subject to any regulations.

I carry 2 phones, 2 laptops, a couple external hdds, etc. I’ve been asked about it by chinese customs once, but otherwise, a dozen crossings, almost half into China and nobody’s cared.
