Import Tips
• Obtain authentication certificate from a recognized numismatic expert to verify age and authenticity, avoiding reclassification as modern currency
• Declare as cultural property; provide provenance documentation to comply with US Customs and cultural heritage import regulations
• Avoid common pitfalls like undervaluation—insure based on collector market value, not face value
