I will leave for china next week and stay with my Chinese fianc until end of march.
I bought 20,000 CNY (approx $3,000) at a bank here in Norway. I would like to bring an additional $1,000 in Norwegian currency. According to travelchinaguide i can take $5.000 US dollars OR 20,000 CNY. Which "related documents" do I need and what are the economic consequences of declaring. Should I sell the CNY back to the bank and take $4000 in Norwegian currency? What if I have 19,000 or 10,000 CNY. I heard that bringing ANY Renminbi (Chinese currency) in cash is prohibited! I want to bring my desktop computer - box keyboard. (I will buy a monitor in China.) Will this be a problem?
Can I bring some cheese to China?
