Hi all,

I am a silversmith based in the UK who makes handmade items in silver. Still early days and haven't ever hit the threshold before but in the process of registering as a sole trader in the UK. In a few months time I am travelling to Denmark for an event where I intend to launch my business and sell items at a market.

From what I can see online I believe that taking stock to Denmark would not be subject to tax duties because the items are entirely made from UK materials but I am really struggling to get a clear idea of what I need to do before travelling with my stock. I have seen something about an ATA carnet but am unsure if this is needed if the goods are exempt from duties because they would meet the Rules of Origin requirement. So do I just have to fill in customs forms to declare that the items meet this?

Would appreciate any advice from anybody who has navigated taking stock from the UK to the EU like this.

I assume it isn't the same as sending items to EU customers because I don't actually know what if any of the items will sell while I am there?

P.s I am aware of and comply with the hallmarking regulations and I understand that the UK hallmark is accepted in the EU so do not need advice on this part
