<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2584177, member: 76194&quot;]This bottom feeder&#039;s non-legalese &#039;Actual Human Speech&#039; version of this:</p><p><br /></p><p>All Egyptian coins being imported to the US now require a permit from the country they are being imported from, or a sworn statement from a local official stating that this material is legal to own in whatever country this Egyptian coin is being imported from (example: If coin is coming from Germany, then a Sworn Statement or Permit from a Local German official that the Egyptian coin is legal to own in Germany and ownership is in compliance of German Law).</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, there needs to be a verified statement of sorts from the consignor that the coin was not acquired from Egypt less than 10 years prior to the entry of the coin into the U.S., or if the date the material was acquired from Egypt is not known, a statement that the consignor has no reason to believe this material runs afoul of the 10 year ban on sale and import into the U.S.,&nbsp; <span style="color: #0000ff">and that the sale or contract for the material (coin) to be imported occurred less than 1 year prior to the entry of the material into the US</span> <span style="color: #000000">(that last part doesn&#039;t make sense, I think I might have to read the entire law to put that into a proper context)</span>, or otherwise actual proof presented that the material was not acquired from Egypt less than 10 years prior to entry in the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think we&#039;ll be seeing any new coin finds ever come out of Egypt, legally anyway. I&#039;m sure someone will still smuggle them out and eventually some dealer will buy them unknowingly in Europe as being outside of Egypt for 10 years or more, and get a permit to export...but it will definitely slow the flow of Egyptian coins into the US tremendously.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
