On April 30, K-9 Nitro, a chocolate lab trained to detect bulk currency, alerted on a 54-year-old man traveling to Mexico, according to CBP. <\/p>\n

Officials said travelers carrying over $10,000 in currency must report it to the U.S. Treasury on a U.S. Treasury Department Report of International Transportation of Currency or Monetary Instruments form, known as FinCEN 105.<\/p>\n

Officers said they had advised the traveler of federal currency reporting laws and asked how much currency he possessed. The man allegedly declared verbally and in writing that he had $10,000.<\/p>\n

Officers said they returned $240 to the traveler “for humanitarian purposes” and released him. The man is a naturalized U.S. citizen from Peru, CBP noted. <\/p>\n
