How about 'museum pieces on loan for exhibition.'

Hmm, I can see I'm going to have fun if I try to bring 10-15 UK machines
in (which are all 80s or older, but receipts? - haha!)

Unless of course it's different because it's stuff I've owned for years
(just not kept in the US) rather than items I've just acquired. Maybe
"personal belongings" is a different case...

I need to give a few shipping companies a prod I suppose and see what
their experiences are.
