I was asked by someone for what to put on the customer declaration for a coin I bought from US.
What should I put?
Last one I got was declared as "Old Misc Token" with a random $20 value.
Should I put the bullion value on it?
Or should I just put $20 on it again? Something small to avoid temptation. But it's shipped by FedEx so should be ok I guess.
Thoughts?
Thanks!!
I would use ( "Old Misc Token" with a random $20 value ) as it has worked in the past it should work again.
Don't tell them too much info.
Yes I agree.
I normally keep the value, to stop temptation, as you said.
My normal description though is 'Hobby supplies".
Thanks!
The the UK they ask questions when I put hobby supplies on the customs form. I often use medallions.
Tokens is a good one that I did not think of.
The thing that irks me, is I buy direct from the US Mint. It ships via fedex and has US Mint all over it, with the value clearly on the front so customs can apply tax.
The fedex guy leaves it at my door, without requiring a signature, and yet I've never had an issue with stuff going missing. It's pretty odd to come home and find a few grand of coins sitting at your front door.
I realise I've now, not just tempted fate with this post, but rubbed her nose in it.
I received a PNC a while back from the UK. The sender had described the contents as "printed paper".

I thought Fedex requires signature. If no one is there to sign for it, it ends up at the post office where you have to go and pick it up.

This is only slightly better than "stuff".
How about "not drugs"?

Then everyone will think it's drugs. May be you should put "drugs" on it instead.
