CBP and Treasury Correct Cyprus Import Restriction Notice

CBP and the Treasury Department issued a correction to their recent notice on import restrictions on items from Cyprus, which amended CBP regulations to reflect the extension restrictions on importing archaeological objects from the country for five years. The correction, which ran in the Federal Register Aug. 1, corrects "inconsistent language to clarify that ecclesiastical and ritual ethnological materials from Cyprus representing the Byzantine and Post Byzantine periods, dating from approximately the 4th century A.D. to 1850 A.D., are subject to the import restrictions."
