US Import Duties on Chinese Antiques

I would think, if the item is coming from the UK, then the China trade sanctions would not be applicable and the EU sanctions should not involve this type of item. Was the item imported as 9705.00.00.70 (ethnographic artifact which should be duty free) or an antique. There will be clearance fees from freight companies' customs brokers and maybe an inspection fee, but I wonder if you have been overcharged in error and perhaps you should give a call to US customs (https://www.cbp.gov/) and find out if you were correctly charged.
