<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jules clay, post: 6598801, member: 117753&quot;]Your posting is quite ridiculous.&nbsp; It presupposes areas of ambiguity in regulations that don&#039;t exist.&nbsp; Specific US Customs regulations, kicked off by MOU&#039;s with some foreign governments, specifically identify cultural property originating in certain nations that can only be exported into the US if certain defined conditions are met. Coins are specifically cited as cultural property that is restricted, so the statement that it is &quot;clearly not illegal&quot; to import these items originates in ignorance. It may well be the case that some coins (or many coins) have slipped through the net and have been received by collectors, but let&#039;s not pretend that this&nbsp; is due to some vagueness or ambiguity in the regulations.&nbsp; Also, to rely on foreign dealers to interpret or abide by US Customs regulations is a foolish enterprise.&nbsp; Finally, although it appears unlikely at present, don&#039;t dismiss the possibility that in the future - for example, when you go to sell - you may have to PROVE that a restricted coin was legally imported into the US, especially if it is a big ticket item.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
