Saint Barthélemy

Single obligation with two filing channels; channel is conditional because the duty is triggered only at or above the threshold. Any natural person transporting cash of EUR 10,000 or more, or the equivalent in other currencies, whether or not the owner of the cash (« qu'elle soit propriétaire ou non »), for movements in either direction between Saint-Barthélemy and a foreign country (DALIA's wording « en provenance ou à destination de l'étranger », articles L722-6 and L722-7 of the code monétaire et financier); the declaration is made by the person transporting the cash. The regular channel is the DALIA e-service, which expressly names Saint-Barthélemy; the paper form « Déclaration d'argent liquide - COM », applicable to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis-et-Futuna and Saint-Barthélemy, is the alternative channel for the same obligation — one declaration per movement, not two filings. The COM form also carries an XPF 1,193,317 figure, which serves the territories whose local currency is the CFP franc; Saint-Barthélemy's local currency is the euro, so the threshold recorded for Saint-Barthélemy is only EUR 10,000 or more (or the equivalent in other currencies). Covered cash includes banknotes and coins, bearer-negotiable instruments and gold. For amounts of EUR 50,000 or more, documents justifying the provenance of the cash must accompany the declaration (article L771-1-2 of the code monétaire et financier for Saint-Barthélemy). Non-, false or non-presented declaration is punishable for Saint-Barthélemy under article L722-18, notably by a fine of up to 50% of the sum involved — a sanction, not a fee. This entry covers only cash physically carried by the traveller; the same official texts also cover cash sent or shipped (« transports et envois »), which is not modelled here as a traveller-carried declaration. Saint-Martin is not on the COM/DALIA list and uses the EU/FR forms; those forms cover metropole/DOM/Saint-Martin movements and do not apply to Saint-Barthélemy.
