Pennsylvania Auctioneer Practice Exam

US customs classify an antique as how old?

1. 50 years of age at the time of importation

2. 75 years of age at the time of importation

3. 100 years of age at the time of importation

4. 125 years of age at the time of importation

The correct answer is: 100 years of age at the time of importation

In the United States, customs consider an item an antique if it is at least 100 years old at the time of importation. This classification helps determine the appropriate duties and regulations that apply to importing antiques into the country. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Option A is incorrect because an item needs to be older than 50 years to be classified as an antique. Option B and Option D are also incorrect as they do not meet the 100-year criteria required for an item to be considered an antique for customs purposes.
