Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2011 7:57 amI've been sending nickels to the states for awhile now, usually 60 pounds at a time and have never ran into any issue's. I label thema tool and die machine blanks to stop light fingers from walking off with it. I've often wondered how much I could drive across without getting to much susspition.

$10,000 without declaring it. Anytime anything crosses the border it has to be declared over $10,000.
