Declare Dinar with Customs?

[J3L]

A friend bought some dinar via eBay from a seller in Amman Jordan. Do they need to declare this with customs? What about the IRS?

Per previous posts,I believe the dealers are registered with the UST and if they are mailed internationally, the sender tells the mailing service and it is declared with customs. Every eBay purchase I have made, that is from an international seller has a customs stamp on the package when it arrives. I don't think we claim to IRA until it RVs, but I would consult a CPA/Tax Attorney to be 100% sure. Hope that helps....

I bought 10 x 250 dinar notes and found out it was Jordan, i didnt look where the seller was based, but it arrived in the mail no problem. What was it $14 worth.

My last purchase from Jordan arrived via Fed Ex. The envelope was opened and there was a note in the envelope from Customs. All bills were in there, so problem.

What did the note from customs say? If all bills were still in there, then what was the problem?

Looks to me like a typo. I thought it said "no" problem by the way it sounded.

I think the real question here is was it recorded and sent on to the proper agency or was it just inspected and since there wasn't a letter bomb in there it was sent thru and unreported!

It was from "Jim Bob", he was asking for a loan. They usually say, "This package was inspected by U.S. Customs"

That is a good question capt.cliff. One good reason to have all our i's dotted and t's crossed. Happy New Year!

According to US Customs, if there is any duty fee assigned to the package you will be notified by the package arriving with a form attached stating the amount owed. Link

FinCen does require that a form be filled out IF the money transferred has a value of $10,000 USD or more. Link
