I am bringing over NZ$10000 when I fly in November, which I know is an OK amount as far as declaring it at customs. However, family have given my daughter and me money as leaving prezzies and I was wondering if I am OK to double the limit if I include my DD? She is only 8 so obviously I would be using her in name only and hopefully not letting her carry wads of cash though customs!
I am not opening a bank account in NZ yet (OH is there and taking care of that side of things this week however cant get a joint account open til I get there too ) I just wanted to take the physical cash to last a while since my OH has to shoot back off to training college a day after we arrive.
Is it better and safer to just declare however much I have with me? I obviously dont want to get stopped if I dont have to!
Thanks guys,
Claire
