Sheesh.... must be nice to have nothing better to than feed the trolls. What
a waste of bandwidth.....and all the cross posting??
I would have thought that the folks on here were trained better than that.

The only exception, according to the Customs Service is cars. If
anything
is misrepresented when sold, the seller is liable. Customs would have
nothing to do with that other than their law being precedent.

Well, if the issue is misrepresention of an item as an antique, then I
expect the buyer would have to show that the misrepresentation created a
false expectation of an item's market value. In that case, the
marketplace defination of an antique would be relevant.

I don't see how the US Customs defination would apply, unless there was
some Federal beef about import taxes.
