Import Tips
• Obtain authentication certificates from recognized numismatic societies (e.g
• PCGS, NGC) to prove collector status and avoid bullion classification
• Declare as a collection, not individual coins, with detailed inventory listing age, mint marks, and provenance to comply with statistical notes
• Avoid common pitfalls like undervaluing based on melt value; use appraised numismatic value and prepare for cultural property export permits from origin country
