I'm just not sure:
1) Do I pay the Swedish VAT to the Danish customs?
or
2) Are there Swedish customs officers in CPH
or
3) I just leave CPH airport, head to Sweden and then look for customs e.g. in Malmö (no idea where I would find them if I arrive by train - would know by car as it is obvious
)
Any idea?
Thanks,

Swedish customs has a phone and office at Hyllie. You're supposed to call them if you have questions or need to make a declaration upon crossing via train from CPH to Sweden.
No Swedish Tull personnel working passenger-facing roles at CPH when I'm there, but they have been known to be called up from CPH.
Can't speak to the ability of Danish customs to make Swedish tax determinations. I can barely get Swedish tax authorities to make consistent Swedish tax determinations, but at least the Danish customs won't have to do that themselves.
Danish Skat should have an idea, so may be best to call them up. Several years ago rules were changed in some way when it came to temporary importation.
