I had the opportunity to hold a 100 oz generic bar at a Resource Convention and Silver gold Bull had a display present. Big! Whew! Congratulations on acquiring such a big bar. At least in Canada 999 silver is tax free. Maybe I could have purchased it here for you and send it to you as a "Paper weight" gift.
I am not sure if this would work or if this would already be smuggeling. But the VAT sucks
