Denmark - Customs

Arriving By Yacht:

EU regulations apply concerning the temporary importation of yachts. See Noonsite's EU VAT page for more information.

Other Items:

• Firearms must be declared.
• You are permitted to bring flare guns, but ownership is subject to a firearm owner’s permit and a European Firearms Pass. During transport, the ammunition must be kept separate from the weapon, and it is prohibited to take flare guns off board.
• If you arrive in Denmark from a country outside the EU, you should avoid bringing animal foods such as milk, meat, eggs, cheese, honey, shellfish etc. in both raw and processed form.
• If a yacht has a large number of dutiable goods in excess of the allowed limits, the stores must be placed under Customs seal and re-exported aboard the yacht. A deposit must be paid, which will be refunded after departure from Danish waters by returning the certificate supplied by the Danish customs office after it has been stamped by Customs on arrival in the next country confirming that the same amount of goods are on board.
• If you enter or leave Denmark with cash or other monetary instruments equal to a value of EUR 10,000 (approx. DKK 75,000) or more, you must declare the amount to the Danish Customs Agency (Toldstyrelsen).
