Gold Jewellery → Denmark

Gold Jewellery is restricted for travelers entering Denmark; declare above the personal allowance.

Details

Gold Jewellery requires declaration at customs (and in some cases an import permit) when carried by travelers into Denmark. Toldstyrelsen (Danish Customs Agency) applies a personal-allowance threshold per item category; quantities above attract duty + the destination's VAT/GST rate (25%) plus, for select categories, an additional excise tax. EU customs harmonisation and EU Regulation 608/2013 IPR enforcement apply alongside national rules. Travelers should consult Toldstyrelsen (Danish Customs Agency) for the current quantity threshold + documentation requirement before departure.

Leaving with this item

Personal gold jewellery may be exported from Denmark for personal use; commercial quantities and gold bullion require declaration.

Practical advice

Carry Gold Jewellery in carry-on where applicable (medication / lithium battery / valuables). On arrival, walk the Red Channel and declare on the customs form. Toldstyrelsen (Danish Customs Agency) computes duty + VAT at the published rate. Have the purchase receipt + (for medication) the original prescription available.
