I believe that the reporting requirement has been at $3000 for a number of years.

All businesses in the US have to report cash transactions of more than $10K. They have to keep records (but not report) on cash transactions of $3K or more. While the cash import/export rules require reporting only of "currency or monetary instruments" as I defined them in my last message, the domestic reports of cash transactions now include (in addition to currency and monetary instruments) the requirement to report $10K transactions involving cashier's checks, money orders and other instruments that can be purchased anonymously and are not connected with a specific bank account. This is a significant expansion of the definition of "cash". It may spread to the import/export realm later.
