<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 2789881, member: 82322&quot;]I am not a lawyer.&nbsp; I have read the Cultural Property Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and they talk of &quot;Coins of Cypriot type&quot; etc.&nbsp; My understanding is that if you have a coin minted in Cyprus the shipper is supposed to give the origin as Cyprus.&nbsp; Otherwise how would Customs know what to inspect more closely?</p><p><br /></p><p>According to some guidelines provided by the IAPN on coins from Egypt there is a note <a href="http://www.iapn-coins.org/catalog/product/getDocument/id/6420/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.iapn-coins.org/catalog/product/getDocument/id/6420/" rel="nofollow">http://www.iapn-coins.org/catalog/product/getDocument/id/6420/</a> &quot;[US] Customs has reverted back to restrictions based on place of manufacture rather than find spot.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I am wrong.&nbsp; I know that I feel much more confident when the German shipper of an Asia Minor type gives the origin as TR (Turkey) not DE (Germany).&nbsp; Until there is a court case there won&#039;t be a precedent.&nbsp; This case won&#039;t set a precedent because it was settled out of court.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
