      1. Nicolás is not clear to me, from Ecuador you can only take 1380? without paying the ISD? and in case you carry 2.000 what is tax calculation?

  1. hello good , if I understood , If I get less I pay ISD for the difference and if I get more than 10000 the same , I do not pay and only fill out the FRA, that's how it is ?

  2. Thanks for the info, Query: Is there a maximum amount to withdraw at the airport?? Because it indicates that if it is more than $10.000 should be declared, correct, but there is a maximum amount to be able to take on the plane? I mean, I can withdraw for example $30mi? or until how much?

    1. To my knowledge there is no maximum, but take into account that there are countries that limit the amount of money that can enter their territories. Additional, You must justify the legitimate origin of that money.

  3. Thanks. They are gold bars that have different values, as very small ingots, from what value should be declared? From 10000 like cash? or how much?

  4. Good afternoon, dear Mr. Nicolás.!
    First of all thank you for your information..
    You have knowledge about the tax payment that generates the amount of USD 8.649,00, value resulting from the subtraction of the authorized amount and the amount exempt from tax, please ?

  5. Hello there, and if it is more than the minimum quantity, but less than 9999, How can I calculate the ISD tax that must be paid?

  6. But if I have to pay ISD for the difference of 9999.99 and 1350.00 on 2023, that is not declaring that amount?
    How then do they say that I can get almost 10 000 without declaring, if i have to pay isd, that is to declare or not?

  7. Hello there
    It is not clear about the maximum value to be taken out of the country
    It says that you can take out up to USS/ 1275 without paying ISD
    But then it says that you can withdraw up to USD/ 9.999 without declaring
    Please clarify

    Greetings

    JIMMY

  8. Thanks for the information, it's important.. I have a question, since it is not clear, What is the maximum value that can be carried in cash?, without paying taxes: $1.275 Or until $9.999
    Thanks

    1. Hi Vincent, Yes, the information is somewhat complex to understand, but i will try to explain it better: you can take up 9999 dollars not declared on the customs form FRA. From those 9999 you will have to pay ISD, but subtracting the 1275 dollars that are free without taxes.

  9. Hi Nicolas. It is correct and it is an international standard used by most countries. But it is good to clarify that the amounts in checks, even if they are not in your name, still count as cash., so they must be added to the cash and not exceed the limit. I'm telling you because I lived it once in Miami. Cheers
