Question

I have not declared when enterd india.after spending 45 days can I carry the same amount back to kuwait withou any declaration.

Answer 1

No.  The limit for declaration in the US is 10000.  You can wire some of the money back into your account ahead of time.

On second thought...the limit is 10000 per person, so you can carry 10000, and your wife can carry the other 9000 and you are all set.

Answer 2

No. The limit for declaration in the US is 10000. You can wire some of the money back into your account ahead of time.
