Taking gold bars and sovereign coins out of the country

I plan to emigrate by August to the EU.

I just wanted to know, if anyone knows or had experience taking gold bars and sovereign coins out of the country?
I thought anything under £10k does not need to be declared. But as this is gold does this apply?
I was hoping to do a few fights over 2 years.
Crazy idea, but hear me out. Have you considered asking the relevant authorities that set the rules on taking goods in and out of the country, rather than a computer forum?

You could give:


a call. I know about them because of the maneco64 YouTube channel. I expect they'd be able to answer your question.

Yes, it applies to gold, if it's investment grade then taxes and duty shouldn't apply so what's the issue with declaring it?
 
Gold is also heavy... check that baggage weight allowance especially if flying ryan air!

Better idea - trade the gold in for a bunch of Rolex watches, and walk through customs like this...problem solved
