Silver In Krakow

[Deano17]

Hi all! I’ll be visiting Krakow later this year from the U.K. and just wondered if anyone knew any good places to check out for silver coins and bars? And also if anyone has general knowledge of silver out there; are the premiums better/worse than U.K.? How do I bring it back without getting into trouble etc. Thanks in advance

You will have to Pay UK VAT on customs duty if you dont they will confiscate until you do. That simples...

I could show you around, feel free to ping me in DM

The lowest premium I was able to find was Spot +$5, average is around $8-9. But it’s always possible to negotiate good deals with LCS

And please bring some US junk silver if you have for sale, I’d love to buy some if the price is reasonable

Allowance for other goods

You can bring in other goods worth up to £390 (or up to £270 if you arrive by private plane or boat).

If you go over your allowance you pay tax and duty on the total value of the goods, not just the value above your allowance.

You may have to pay customs duty if you exceed your allowance.

What's reasonable? The best prices I've seen are on TSF at around 21 times face value. Maybe you get hit with taxes if GB-Poland but you could use a reshipper GB-NI-Poland to avoid any EU customs palava

Are you, by any chance, gonna visit Krakow too and have some junk silver to sell?  

Reshipping sounds interesting, could you please give more details?

Noted @HerefordBullyun! Thank you. But as @FriedrichVonHayek as stated, it was was under £390, could I simply declare that they are collectable silver coins & avoid any payments? Or keep it under £390 just incase but not even declare it unless stopped?

Thanks @AriArid seems not to far off what we can get on here really (UK) but might be nice to buy a coin or two as a souvenir at least!

I don't have any junk sorry mate. My stack is very small; handful of coins and few bars, but it makes me happy

I do have junk constitutional silver but not for sale (it's junk when buying and constitutional when owning/selling)

As for reshipping, you can get a quote here from a company based in Northern Ireland for shipping to Poland:

UK Shipping Address and Depot | Parcel Forwarding Service| Parcel Flow

It's quite expensive depending on weight and postal service (DHL, ParcelForce (Royal Mail) or ParcelFlow). You may desire a different postal option. I would do it for a flat fee of £20 + your choice of post sent in a regular way NI-Poland. I'm sure you'd get better service and security with me but you'd have to work out the numbers whether it is worth it or not. Clearnet items only 😂
