Lend it to my other half to see what happens when he flies back to England this weekend.

I can guarantee that it will have been "confiscated by the authorities" and I will have a huge hangover headache from dealing with them.

Thank you all for your inputs!

I will declare the money...this will be the best way to save the hassle / trouble!

You all a nice day!

Dear All,

I just came back from my trip and to give you a small update there was no need to declare the money out of Zurich.

They thought I had some goods to declare in order to detax, but out of ZRH Airport you can take money as much as you want and noone cares :-)))

Whereas on the way into ZRH you obviously need to!

Cheers!
