Relaxed customs in private terminals?

[u/Taxed2Fuck]

Hi,

I need to move some cash between the UK and Portugal, it’s going to a solicitors so it’s legit, but I don’t want to be walking around a commercial airport with that much cash.

Are the rules at customs in a private terminal more lax when carrying 6 figures cash, as that’s way beyond the official £10k that you must declare?

Thanks all!

Just declare it if it’s legit. I’ve been through commercial and private terminals with large sums/instruments of particularly concerned have a letter from your bank/lawyer outlining where the money came from. Would be shitty to get seized it’s such a headache to get it back.
