Message:: [QUOTE="mike98024, post: 385917, member: 10019"]I used to work for a silver/gold refinery and did a lot of cross-border business. As of 23 years ago, precious metals moved back and forth with NO taxation at all. You needed to declare it, but that was all. One of our Canadian clients decided to take possesion of 30,000 ounces of silver and I crossed the border with that and had no problem. Other than the entire border crossing being shut down while all of the customs agents came out to my '74 rusted Datsun pickup truck, with a dented canopy, and stared at the 30 1000 ounce bars of silver. I tried to explain the concept of "low profile" but they couldn't help but point and carry on. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck for the rest of the trip, waiting for someone to rob me.  Story aside, I have not heard of the laws changing but you should probably check into it. Mike[/QUOTE]
