I know this has been discussed before, I just can't find the thread. What do you put on your Custom forms when it comes to declaration. I rarely send coins Internationally. Thanks. swcoin.ecrater.com

I have used all of the following in the past along with just coins.
Stamped metal discs
Hobby Supplies
Numismatic supplies
Obsolete coinage

The customs tariff in Canada describes Tariff Item # 9705.00.00 as "Collections and collectors' pieces of zoological, botanical, mineralogical, anatomical, historical, archaeological, alaeontological, ethnographic or numismatic interest."
- - - - -Coins:
11 - - - - - -Gold...
19 - - - - - -Other .
20 - - - - -Medals.
I think "numismatic interest" or "numismatic interest: coins" should be enough.

"alaeontological" ?
is that a uniquely Canadian word ?
or, maybe an abbreviation of "palaeontological" ?

I just declare "numismatic items" and I've never had a problem.

I have used "souvenir coins" before with no problem.

It's not wise to put "coins" on any package, just "hobby supplies" will do.  |

Nice living in Turkey. We don't have to fill out those forms unless the package we are sending is above 2 kilograms :)
I always see "Numismatic Supplies" or "Numismatic Samples" in custom forms I receieve from the UK and the US.

Most the parcels that I receive from the US or Canada with coins have hobby supplies on it.

"alaeontological" ? It should read "palaeontological", my mistake. |

Most of the time, in reality, I don't even bother, if all I am sending is six or less coins -- I put them in 2x2's and use peelable tape to tape them onto a backing piece of cardboard, which I cut twice the size necessary so that I can fold the unused potion upward and tape together at the top, like a cardboard sleeve. It goes into the envelope, which is taped all along the flap, and I mark "Hand Cancel" or "Do Not Machine" on the face of it in big red letters. Never had a problem.
