Danish Customs Agency

If you are travelling with large amounts of valuables

If you are travelling with, for example, cash amounts or cheques with a value of EUR 10,000 or more, you must notify the Danish Customs Agency. We need to verify that the money does not come from money laundering or is used to finance crime.

When you enter or leave Denmark with cash or other liquid funds (‘monetary instruments’) equal to a value of EUR 10,000 (approx. DKK 75,000) or more, you must declare to the Danish Customs Agency the monetary instruments you are bringing with you. This applies regardless of the type of currency and regardless of whether you are travelling as a private individual or on company business.

You must also declare your monetary instruments even if you are only in transit, for example when travelling by car or train, or if you go ashore from a ship and travel onwards to another country right away. Below you will find links to the digital declaration system where you must declare your cash and other monetary instruments. 

In addition to filling in the declaration, you must always go to the customs office at the airport or where you enter or leave Denmark.
