Export regulations by Denmark customs
Currency Controls In/Out:
Travellers entering or leaving the Community and carrying any sum equal to or exceeding ?10,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies or easily convertible assets such as cheques drawn on a third party) to make a declaration to the customs authorities.
Exports:
Travellers holding a valid ticket for a destination outside the EU (and certain areas within the EU, such as the Canary Islands ) can buy goods free of duty and tax in so-called \"tax-free shops\" in airports and ports. There are no limits as to the quantity or value of the goods that can be purchased duty and tax free. Travellers should however bear in mind that the importation of these goods in the country of destination will be subject to duty and tax allowances, similar to those applying to travellers that enter the EU from a non Member State.
Other Denmark customs information
Note: Diabetic diets are catered for at many restaurants. See Food Drink in the Social Profile section.
Health care: Medical facilities in Denmark are excellent. The telephone number for emergencies is 112. Local tourist offices will tell visitors where to contact a doctor or dentist. Copenhagen has an emergency dental service outside office hours; fees are paid in cash.
Only medicine prescribed by Danish or other Scandinavian doctors can be dispensed at a chemist (Apotek). Many medicines that can be bought over the counter in the UK can only be obtained with prescriptions in Denmark.
There is a reciprocal health agreement with the UK. In addition to the free emergency treatment at hospitals and casualty departments allowed to all foreign visitors, this allows UK citizens on presentation of a UK passport (form E111 is not necessary if on a temporary visit to Denmark) free hospital treatment if referred by a doctor, and free medical treatment given by a doctor registered with the Danish Public Health Service. It may occasionally be necessary to pay at the time of treatment; if this is so, receipts should be kept to facilitate refunds. The Agreement does not apply in the Faroe Islands. To obtain refunds, UK citizens should apply (with receipts) to the Kommunens Social og Sundhedsforvaltning before leaving Denmark. No refund is possible on amounts under DKr 500 (although there is a 50 per cent refund for under 18s).
