What amount of cash I can take with me when going from Canada to USA?
What amount of cash I can take with me when going from Canada to USA? I want to travel to US and want to take ~ 12000$ with me. DO I need to declare it and pay any fee?

In addition to Heidel's point that the US cares you are taking more than $10,000 out of the USA, Canada cares that you are bringing more than $10,000 in. The form you will fill out on arrival is at http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/e311-eng.pdf and you can see they want to know if you have that amount of cash on you.
According to http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/security-securite/cbcr-dmte/menu-eng.html you don't have to pay any fee, and you are allowed to bring the money, but you MUST tell them about it. Just allow some time to have a conversation with the CBSA on arrival.

How much cash dollars can I carry to USA?
You may bring large sums of money with you in the form of cash, money order, or traveler's checks. There is no maximum limit, however, any amount exceeding $10,000 USD must be declared upon arrival on both the Form 6059B and FinCEN 105.How much cash can you have when crossing border?
You might be surprised to learn that there is no limit on how much cash you can cross the border with. However, if you travel with more than $10,000 USD then you must declare it. You can find the official statement on this at the US Customs and Border Protection website.Carrying Cash While you Travel: WHAT ARE THE LIMITS?
