There's also some clauses that if you bring the money into the country, but if you keep it OUTSIDE then you don't have to pay taxes on it, and instead pay taxes with the country you're in.

I know bringing cash into the coutnry it used to be $10k was the limit, but I believe that was reduced to $5k in recent years.

Best bet, talk to an accountant. Advice from us here in the forums is nice, but not legally binding Get on the horn with the Accountant and they'll bring up the legalities of it and get you squred away.
