How much RMB or FX cash can I physically carried out of China?
A. RMB20,000 cash can be carried out of China. Note however that very few countries accept RMB cash for conversion. Up to USD$5,000 equivalent can be carried out of China in foreign currency (cash). Amounts greater than US$5000 and up to US$10000 will require a permit for Taking Foreign Currency Out of Customs Territory issued by the FX designated bank. A Permit for an amount over US$10000 needs to be applied from SAFE directly.
