things that cannot be brought in and out of the country are summarized at the bottom of this article.
Let’s first look at a few cases:

18, a reporter learned from the Nantong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau that a Chinese crew member brought about 3 kilograms of dried fish into the country with 3 kilograms of dried fish. The number is relatively rare.
htmlOn January 10, Nantong inspection and quarantine personnel conducted luggage inspections on nine Chinese crew members from Saudi Arabia's "Road of Innovation" ship, and a large amount of dried fish was intercepted from one of the incoming crew members' luggage, and about 3 kilograms of dried fish were weighed. It is rare for a crew member to carry so many dried fish. According to the announcement No. 1712 of the Ministry of Agriculture and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, dried fish is prohibited from entering the country, and the quarantine officers intercept and destroy it in accordance with the law.It is understood that the ship had been docked in Saudi Arabia for a long time from November 12 to December 7, 2017, and the dried fish was fished by the crew member himself and made it. Many Chinese crew members have a hobby of fishing during leisure time, and because they catch more fish, they are often dried into dried fish and take them with their luggage when changing shifts. In recent years, the Nantong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has been able to intercept dried fish from Chinese crew members' luggage 10 times a year.
At present, the quarantine department is gradually establishing electronic records of passengers who carry prohibited items into the country, and link them to the social credit reporting system . Once a crew member has multiple records of breach of trust, he may face administrative penalties from the quarantine department, and in serious cases, he will be held criminally responsible. The quarantine department reminds the majority of seafarers not to breach their trust because of fish.
Similar incidents have also happened before:
Fishing abroad, crew members took 5 kilograms of dried fish to get off the ship and were checked
June 29, 2016 | Author: Reporter Sun Maoqiang Correspondent Mei Yang Li Xiaozheng
June 27, an inbound ship from Australia berthed at Rugao Port, Jiangsu Province, during which 6 crew members applied to the inspection and quarantine department to disembark. During the inspection of the crew's luggage, a large amount of unknown dried fish was intercepted in one crew member's luggage.
Quarantine personnel weighed the dried fish intercepted in this batch and found that it was as high as 5 kg. The crew carrying dried fish said that the fish were unknown fish they had hammered when they were mooring in Australia's anchorage, and were then air-dried and marinated. This time they got off the boat and wanted to take them home for their families to taste. Due to the quarantine risks, this batch of dried fish has been intercepted and destroyed by quarantine personnel in accordance with the law.
Quarantine personnel found that crew members disembarked from the ship and carried animals, plants and animal products from the ship. Most of these crew members did not understand my country's entry and exit laws and regulations, and whether the animals and plants caught or collected by crew members overseas were toxic and other hazards were often difficult to know. There is a certain risk of eating without authorization. In response to these situations, the Rugao inspection and quarantine department will strengthen the publicity of entry and exit laws and regulations for local shipping companies and crew members in the next step, reduce the occurrence of similar situations, reduce the risks of national quarantine, and prevent crew members from suffering unnecessary losses.
The following case, which happened a few days ago, was characterized as smuggling because the number exceeded the relevant regulations.
Border Inspection Customs seized a tobacco and alcohol smuggling case
Qingdao Full Search Electronic News 2018.01.17 Wednesday
Yesterday, the Qingdao Border Defense Inspection Station of the Shandong Public Security Border Corps seized a tobacco and alcohol smuggling case, suspected of smuggling 241 bottles of foreign wine and 28 cigarettes. This case is under further trial.
At 4:50 am yesterday, the inspector on duty at Qingdao Border Inspection Station found through surveillance video that several crew members on the Falcon freighter docked at Berth No. 5 of Qingdao Port Wharf were transporting items. "At first, I thought it was a normal crew member unloading his luggage, but after 10 minutes of observation, we found that more than 20 boxes were piled on the dock, and the crew members were still carrying and loading the truck, so we rushed to the scene immediately." Li Junhu, head of the fourth section of duty business department of Qingdao Border Inspection Station, said that on the way to the scene, the items had been loaded into the truck and pulled away.The inspector pursued and intercepted the items and cigarettes smuggled in the car. "Under normal circumstances, Ocean Seafarers can report to the customs for 120 consecutive days, and each person can report to the customs to carry two cigarettes and a bottle of wine. These crew members obviously exceeded the limit and did not report to the customs, so they are investigated and dealt with according to smuggling."

Xinde Maritime Network quoted Taiwanese media news:
The security inspection team of the Kaohsiung Branch of the Aviation Police Bureau seized undeclared USD 60,000 and RMB 100,000 in the backpack of a crew member named Wang from the mainland on the 15th.
This is the second case of a passenger carrying excess currency seized by Kaohsiung Airport since the amendment of the Money Laundering Prevention Law on June 28. Although the passenger said he was not clear about the relevant regulations, the Kaohsiung Airport branch of the Kaohsiung Airport of the Ministry of Finance still violated the Money Laundering Prevention Law and confiscated the excess currency. was in US$50,000 and RMB80,000, about NT$1.86 million.
The Aviation Police Bureau once again appealed on the 16th that if passengers carry a large amount of currency and gold bars out of the country, they must declare to the customs to avoid damage to their rights and interests.
In addition, let me emphasize that the handheld smoke signals, parachute signals, etc. on the ship cannot be taken on the train or on the plane.

Summary:
Xinde Maritime Network hereby reminds that due to the different regulations of laws and regulations of different countries and regions, seafarers and other friends who need to go out of the country due to business trips and other people must not carry too much cash with them.
The maximum amount of cash that can be carried by entering and leaving the country is as follows:
China: 20,000 yuan
According to my country's customs regulations, you can carry cash below 20,000 yuan or less than 5,000 US dollars when entering and leaving the country (can bring equivalent foreign currency)
China Taiwan: 60,000 Taiwan Dollar
According to the regulations, the New Taiwan Dollar NTD entry and exit can be limited to 60,000 yuan. If the NTD carried exceeds this limit, you should apply to the "Central Bank" for approval in advance before entering or leaving the country and verify and release it with your credentials.
However, Taiwan does not restrict the entry of foreign currency, but people who exceed the equivalent USD 10,000 cash should report to customs registration and will be confiscated according to law without declaration. In addition, the upper limit of RMB is 20,000 yuan. (So, in the incident mentioned above, the Taiwan Customs of China fined US$60,000 and 100,000 US$50,000 and 80,000 . Only 10,000 and 20,000 RM1 were left.)

Thailand: Not less than 20,000 baht
must carry more than 20,000 baht (i.e., equivalent to RMB 4,000 or equivalent foreign currency), otherwise it will be rejected by the Thai customs.

For example, in Thailand, anyone who carries less than 20,000 baht or equivalent foreign currency will be regarded as a person with no normal consumption capacity and tends to immigrate illegally. Thai customs will refuse to enter the border of Thailand.
