[The Cross-boundary Movement of Physical Currency and Bearer Negotiable Instruments Ordinance, Chapter 629, Laws of Hong Kong](https://www.elegislation.gov.hk/hk/cap629!en?INDEX_CS=N) ("the Ordinance") establishes a declaration and disclosure system on the cross-boundary transportation of large quantities of currency and bearer negotiable instruments into and out of Hong Kong for the purposes of anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism. The system does not restrict the free flow of legitimate capital. The Customs and Excise Department is the major law enforcement agency of the Ordinance. - [Passenger Clearance](/en/service-enforcement-information/passenger-clearance/currency-bearer-negotiable-instruments/index.html) - [Cargo Clearance](/en/service-enforcement-information/cargo-clearance/instruments/index.html) - [Contact Us](/en/service-enforcement-information/anti-money-laundering/cds/contact-us/index.html) - [FAQ](/en/faqs/currency-and-bearer-negotiable-instruments/index.html) ## Publicity Video <div class="videoWrap"> [<span class="iframeContainer"> </span> <span class="play"></span>](//www.youtube.com/embed/sMOh5fe5xDk?rel=0) </div> <div id="div_generated_pagename" style="display:none;"> Declare/disclose large quantities of currency and bearer negotiable instruments </div>
