He needs to talk to a expert in the field, not ask on an internet forum  :)

By searching on the internet.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Yes, he most likely can bring all that gold and not declare it or tell anyone about it. Please post flight info, including seat number, for a more definitive answer.

That sounds like it's being taken for trade rather than personal use. I would assume a quick call to a customs broker might help answer the question.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Doesn't anything over $10K in value have to be declared?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Depending in what from the gold is, it might count at a monetary equivalent.

Ask anyone that imports or exports regularly.

this looks like it's for imports.

True, but anyone in the field should know where to direct you.
