Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6448 Posts	Posted 05/27/2024 12:05 pm This weekend I spotted an interesting U.S. vintage silver coin on ebay. However, it would be shipped from Canada. Are there any weird restrictions or required paperwork to buy such a coin and have it shipped back into the United States?q Report this Post to the Staff

Centinal Valued Member United States 263 Posts	Posted 05/27/2024 12:25 pm Have the seller mark the coin as "bullion" that way its not seen as a taxable item at customs. But now thinking about it, since it's a u.s. coin I don't see how canada could tax a foreign coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5391 Posts	Posted 05/27/2024 12:59 pm Pretty easy stuff! A coin sent to the US from Canada happens all the time. Anything under 800 USD is tax duty free. Under 801 to under 2500 also tax duty free just requires a different entry form . Also don't try funny stuff , like asking a seller to represent something other than what is in the package . That is a violation of both Canadian and US customs laws and could result in fines or worse . When dealing with CBP OR CBSA just tell the truth.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6448 Posts	Posted 05/27/2024 2:07 pm Ok, thanks for the info. So I can just buy (for example) a silver Washington quarter on ebay from a Canadian seller, have it shipped to the U.S., and there is no paperwork required? That's what I expected, but lately it seems like government at all levels has become somewhat Byzantine. Report this Post to the Staff
