Question:What cautions should foreigners take when buying Chinese antiques?

 

    Answer:When buying expensive articles, please choose shops run by the state.
Make sure that the antiques you buy carry a wax seal indicating that it is authentic and is able to be exported from China.

 

   Be aware that antiques dating before 1795 cannot be legally exported.
   Keep the purchase receipts. Customs will ask you to produce them when leaving China.
