Romanian law allows travelers to bring cash into or out of Romania. However, sums larger than 10,000 Euros or the equivalent must be declared. It is advisable to contact the Embassy of Romania in Washington or one of Romania’s consulates in the United States for specific information regarding customs requirements.
