Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the plating is bronze (a base metal) and not a precious metal; if it contains gold or silver plating, it may still qualify if the plating is minor
• Declare the base metal composition accurately on customs documents
• Check if the antique style triggers any cultural property restrictions, though unlikely for mass-produced items
