Import Tips
• Provide dated assay certificates and historical context to substantiate age claim during entry
• Separate from modern electric conversions; declare as purely antique to prevent Chapter 94 reclassification
• Insure against damage; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits on cultural items
