Import of gold and silver bullion to the UK

Max Jepcott made this Freedom of Information request to HM Revenue and Customs

The request was successful.

From: Max Jepcott

16 January 2010

Dear HM Revenue & Customs,

1. Your website says any information regarding the importation of
Krugerands, or gold and silver bullion (IHTM21024 - Types of asset:
Krugerrands, gold and silver bullion) has been withheld because of
exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Why?

2. Does HM Revenue and Customs levy charges on the individual
bringing into the UK their own personal collection of coins and
bullion, namely:

- Bullion coins (both silver and gold), produced by foreign
Government mints, which have a face value in the currency of the
country they were minted in.

- Bullion, in the form of small minted bars, produced by private
mints.

If the answer to these questions is yes, what are the charges?

Yours faithfully,

Max Jepcott
