Holidaymakers planning to travel this summer have been issued a stern warning by UK customs as they could face fines of up to £5,000 for not declaring cash exceeding £10,000 when leaving or entering the country. The declaration requirement applies to anyone carrying cash between England, Wales, or Scotland and a country outside of the UK.

According to the government’s guidance, individuals must declare cash worth more than £10,000 when departing Great Britain for any destination outside the UK. Additionally, families or groups traveling together must declare the total amount of cash if it exceeds £10,000, even if carried by multiple individuals in smaller amounts.
