广州海关近日在广州白云国际机场截获一名旅客试图携带大量未申报货币入境。海关人员在检查一名选择“无申报”通道的旅客行李时，发现其行李中藏有43.59万欧元（约合360万元人民币）。

According to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Customs, officers conducting inspections on an inbound flight noticed anomalies in the X-ray images of a passenger who had chosen the “Nothing to Declare” channel. A further examination revealed bundles of euro banknotes in denominations of €200, €50, and €20. The passenger had not filed any declaration with Customs.

据广州白云机场海关介绍，海关人员在检查入境航班时，发现一名选择“无申报”通道的旅客行李X光图像存在异常。进一步检查发现，该旅客行李中有大量面额为200欧元、50欧元和20欧元的纸币，且未向海关申报。

Customs authorities remind travelers that, under Chinese regulations, carrying large amounts of cash across the border is subject to restrictions. Any inbound passenger carrying more than 20,000 yuan in renminbi or foreign currency equivalent to over US$5,000 in cash must make a truthful declaration and proceed through the “Goods to Declare” channel.

海关提醒旅客，根据中国相关规定，携带大量现金进出境是受到限制的。任何携带超过2万元人民币或等值超过5000美元外币现金的入境旅客，必须如实申报，并通过“申报通道”办理相关手续。
