Posting to Denmark

I sold two 1 gram Gold bullion bars on ebay Yesterday for £12.50 each and the buyer, located in Denmark, paid me an extra £3 for me to post them there.

What service do I use to send them, and what should I put on the customs label?

Thanks ;)

    You can use the RM Airsure service to Denmark £5.50 with £34.00 insurance 2 working days fully tracked. I don't think you need a customs declaration to Denmark as it is part of the EEC.

    Thanks. I will probably use Royal Mail International Signed for as it appears to do the same thing as Airsure but cheaper.

    bit of a grey area as they are tracked until being passed over to the destination countrys mail service.
    now if its like it is in the UK the signed items are split @ customs
    some are classed as special delivery and some recordeds.
    i would assume its the same for other countries.
    so international signed would be recorded and airsure a special delivery
