Why must I make a declaration?
• To deter illegal activities such as money laundering and the financing of terrorism by disrupting the movement of illicit funds
• To comply with European Union Legislation
• To avoid penalties for non-compliance
What if I fail to complete the declaration or submit a false one?
• The cash could be detained or seized; and
• You could be subject to penalties.
Please be aware that there are separate control and declaration provisions for intra community cash movements in some Member States. These will be applied in addition to EU rules.
