wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 3:33 pm I have numerous coins graded by PCGS, but have never sent one down. I have a double eagle that I'd like to have slabbed by them. Looking for a few learned comments from folks who send south of the border routinely. Have you experienced any Customs related issues on the way back into Canada and if so how did you trouble shoot that, or is there a way to avoid it? Preferred method of sending; Canada Post, courier? Thx for the input. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

I don't use or dally with cert'd coins, but I understand that the mailing, insurance and customs are sometimes very stiff. Report this Post to the Staff

Use something like FedEx or UPS. Or what's that international company (DLS?). IMO USPS and Canada Post will just add another layer of bureaucracy to what will probably be a very annoying situation. And PCGS, as good as they are, are VERY slow these days (I don't know why). 4+ months for one of my recent submissions. Throw in your international transaction with Customs involved and it's anyone's guess how long it will take. Report this Post to the Staff
GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1527 Posts	Posted 11/18/2022 4:43 pm I strictly use FEDEX when sending coins to NGC / PCGS. Both companies have specific address' to send to when using fedex. For customs I use a Harmonization tax code number (HS#) of 9705.00.00 and describe it as a collectable numismatic disc, not for sale, grading only. And for value I put $10.00. I would never list the true market price of the coin or gold value. The HS# for gold coins over 100 years of age is: 9705.31.0010 but keep the description the same, never use the word gold. Hope this helps Report this Post to the Staff
