United States customs law defines an antique as an object that is more than 100 years old. These include furniture, silver, glass, ceramics, rugs, embroideries, metal ware, and other objects of decorative art.
Antiques are bought and sold in a variety of ways. Some are sold at auctions. In the biggest auction houses, similar things are grouped together in sales for which catalogues are published. These sales receive international advertising and publicity. Bidding can be done in person, by agent, or by telephone. Many antiques are sold by dealers – merchants who buy objects from private owners, auction houses, and from other dealers. Most antique dealers display their wares in their own shops. The antiques show is another popular way to buy and sell such goods.

CBP officers at the Peace Bridge encountered a 31-year old male U.S. citizen claiming to have made a wrong turn onto the bridge. Officers noticed the subject’s nervous behavior and searched his vehicle’s trunk, where 10 grams of marijuana was discovered inside a shoebox. The subject and narcotics were turned over to the Buffalo Police Department.
Also at Peace Bridge, CBP officers encountered a 22-year old U.S. citizen, discovering 19.9 grams of marijuana in the trunk of his vehicle.
At Rainbow Bridge, CBP officers encountered a 29-year old U.S. citizen and discovered 169 grams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), commonly found in cannabis, but laced into gummy candies found in the traveler’s possession.
At Lewiston Bridge, CBP officers discovered 40 grams of marijuana in a backpack in the trunk of a vehicle. A 31-year old U.S. citizen claimed ownership of the narcotics and was turned over to Lewiston Police Department.
In addition to intercepting narcotics, CBP officers at Peace Bridge arrested two wanted individuals. A 27-year old citizen of Iraq with U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident status was encountered by CBP officers, who discovered the traveler was wanted on an outstanding warrant from the Erie County Sheriff’s Office in Pennsylvania. The subject was wanted for failure to appear in court on charges of unsworn falsifications to authorities, and turned over to the Buffalo Police Department for extradition to Pennsylvania.
CBP Officers at Peace Bridge also encountered a 26-year old Jamaican citizen wanted on three outstanding warrants issued by the New York State Police, Rochester City Police Department, and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office for assault and forgery. The warrants were confirmed with law enforcement agencies, and the subject was turned over to New York State Police.
“While CBP’s number one mission is to prevent terrorism in our homeland, our CBP Officers continually work to keep narcotics and criminals out of our community,” said Buffalo Area Port Director Cary Frieling. “Our officers work tirelessly to secure our border and they do it with integrity and professionalism, insuring that illicit items are not entering our country and wanted individuals are detained and turned over to the appropriate authorities.” www.cbp.gov
