Extension of Import Restrictions Imposed on Categories of Archaeological Material of Italy

Brief takeaway: The notice extends existing U.S. import restrictions on certain archaeological material from Italy, so goods in these categories remain subject to entry controls.

What changed: According to the notice, CBP regulations are being amended to reflect an extension of import restrictions on certain categories of archaeological material of Italy that were originally imposed in Treasury Decision 01-06. The notice states these restrictions are extended through January 12, 2031, effective January 14, 2026.

Who's affected: The notice names archaeological material of the Italian Republic (Italy) as the country of origin. The notice refers to certain categories of such material tied to Treasury Decision 01-06 but does not, in this text, spell out specific HTS codes; the exact category list is defined in the referenced designated list rather than restated here.

What to review:
- Review whether your goods fall within the categories of Italian archaeological material covered by the referenced designated list.
- Confirm with your customs broker whether documentation such as export permits or proof of provenance may be required for entry.
- Check the effective and expiration dates (through January 12, 2031) against your planned import timing.
- Confirm how these restrictions interact with entry filing and any admissibility requirements for cultural property.
