Import Tips
• Include expert appraisal confirming hand-execution and age; UV light analysis helps prove no modern interventions
• File with U.S
• Customs via ACE system using detailed descriptions; pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
• Check CITES if featuring ivory-based fixatives, though rare for drawings
