Taking nuggets OS

[adem]

So far I have not found any relevant info on the net in regards to taking gold nuggets out of Australia and into Europe (western).
Has anyone taken nuggets out of aus to Europe? I know about declaring more than $10000 and I think you can take it out, however it depends on destination. Is this right

Hi Adem, I would not risk taking my gold overseas based on advice provided here.
Contact Australia border force for exact information.
Can you imagine getting stopped and your gold confiscated and your excuse was I was given the advice by Houdini on the prospectors forum.

Dont risk it.

Cheers

It would be a simple matter to just contact the Aust Customs Dept & get an answer from the horses mouth.
same as for your destination, contact the relevant authority & preferably get all answers in writing/email

As you stated. 10k is the limit on any currency. Gold is a currency just dont leave it in your suitcase, it will go missing. Ive never had a problem with the carry on before taking 2k worth over to Philippines and back Check which country your going to with Australia customs

This trip to Philippines I took all my gold with me to get it melted down into a bar ..just took it hand carry and nothing said.
Went through the x-ray machine and out the other side in my laptop case.
Did the same thing last trip. As long as it is under $10,000 US in value you dont have to declare it.
