Import Tips
• Obtain authentication certificates from recognized numismatic experts or grading services like PCGS or NGC to verify age and authenticity
• Declare exact age, metal content, and provenance; failure to prove age over 100 years may reclassify to general coinage headings
• Check CITES or national export restrictions from source countries, as some nations regulate ancient coin exports
