El Salvador uses the US dollar and applies the regional allowances, with the usual declaration on cash in both directions.
- The US dollar is the currency, which removes the exchange question but not the declaration: cash of USD 10,000 or more must be reported on entry and on exit.
- The allowance is a carton of cigarettes and a couple of litres of spirits per adult, plus a value cap on other goods.
- Archaeological objects may not be exported, which covers the pre-Columbian pieces sold in the markets.
- The CA-4 agreement with Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua covers immigration only; the customs check at each land border still happens.
- Bitcoin's legal-tender status does not change the customs rules - what is declarable is physical cash and bearer instruments.
