<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 2644887, member: 82322&quot;]When you buy coins from overseas they are supposed to be declared on the CN-22 (or similar) customs form on the envelope.</p><p><a href="https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/322/~/importing-gold-coins,-medals,-and-bullion" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/322/~/importing-gold-coins,-medals,-and-bullion" rel="nofollow">https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/322/~/importing-gold-coins,-medals,-and-bullion</a></p><p>(Note that the link says the US prohibits coins from Iran, and no one knows if that includes most Parthian coins or not.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Internet purchases are supposed to include the &quot;country of origin&quot;.&nbsp; This is usually not the country where the purchase occurred.</p><p><a href="https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/internet-purchases" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/internet-purchases" rel="nofollow">https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/internet-purchases</a></p><p>Many sellers put Germany as the country of origin, which is wrong, but by the time you get the envelope and find out there seems to be no way to tell US Customs the correct origin.&nbsp; The value or purchase price is supposed to be included.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the shipment is worth more than $2000 I believe they hold it for customs duty.&nbsp; Some coins are exempt.&nbsp; For shipments valued under $200 there is usually no customs duty.&nbsp; It is rare to have to pay the duty and I don&#039;t know if this is because few coins have duty or few form CN-22s are filled out properly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I once tried to buy a coin on ma-shops.com and the seller wouldn&#039;t ship to the USA. I finally found an IAPN dealer who would do the paperwork and ship through them for a fee.&nbsp; This dealer just forgot to put on the declaration.&nbsp; (It was not a high value coin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
