Import Tips
• Obtain export permits from source country and provide detailed provenance certificates to verify historical authenticity
• Declare as a collection, not individual coins, to avoid reclassification; include appraisals for customs valuation
• Comply with US cultural property import restrictions under 19 CFR 12.104; common pitfall is insufficient documentation leading to seizure
