What fees apply when travelling with investment gold ?

You may introduce gold duty free and exempt from VAT if it meets the criteria for investment gold. The gold must have a certain level of purity to be traded on the stock market. Investment gold is considered a form of equivalent assets.

When travelling to Sweden from a country outside of the EU with investment gold worth more than € 10,000, you are required to declare it with Swedish Customs. Submit your declaration using our Online Service for cash or equivalent assets or on a form, which you submit to a customs official at the border. You are not obliged to pay any fees if the gold meets the criteria for investment gold. Find out how to declare here: Travelling with cash and/or equivalent assets.

If you are planning to send or receive investment gold worth more than € 10,000 by mail or parcel, you must be able to demonstrate, upon request, the origin of the funds and their intended use.
