Buying sealed gold Pamp bars multiples - best place?

[Bluenitsuj]

As per the title. Where would you recommend buying 10+ gold bars 2.5g and bigger for the lowest premiums in your experience?

They would need to be sealed. I was also wondering if buying from Europe would there be any hidden custom charges etc. Mainly looking UK but coming across some sites in Switzerland and Germany.

Anyone used Gold Avenue although they charge £45 delivery.

If you get from Switzerland you will pay charges... I forgot and did on a couple of Fortunate bars

Do u know if import charges are added for purchase from Germany?

[Rll1288]

No they shouldn't be as (at the moment) we are still covered by EU.. Switzerland are not.. so that is why I believe the charge applied

There is no import duty on pure gold when purchased from outside the EU.
There is VAT however at 20% and most likely a handling fee from the courier on top.
Many people get confused between VAT and import duty.
If UPS charged duty then you have a valid claim for a refund but not on VAT.
Buying gold in the UK is VAT free so maybe check sellers like Atkinsons.

But if buying from within the EU would there be VAT and duty charged as I understand there is no VAT on gold in EU?

No VAT or customs duty, goods move freely inside the EU space + UK  (until  the end of the transitioning period). Switzerland is not part of the EU market, is part of the EFTA.
