cash smuggling
Illegal money transport
Cash smuggling is the illegal transport of currency across borders to evade reporting requirements or hide money from authorities.
It typically involves physically concealing large amounts of cash—in luggage, vehicles, or on one's person—to avoid detection: They were arrested for cash smuggling after customs found $200,000 in their suitcases.
The practice is closely associated with money laundering, drug trafficking, and tax evasion.
