    So I've decided to wire her 13K, get a travelers check for 5K or so and take 4K in cash. Therefore I won't have to declare it leaving the US and then just not declare it entering China. They say you have to declare anything over 5K USD entering China but everyone says it's pretty much a walk through and not to worry about it. I'll also be getting around any gift tax because I won't be giving her anything over 13K until after we're married.

    The only other way to do it would be to take the 4k in cash and then use an ATM to get the rest over. I just don't want to chance my debit card not working.

    Anyway, just wanted to let you know how I decided to get the money there.

    Thanks for all the help
