His works are one of a kind or in a limited edition, with no utilitarian use and produced of glass and metal. Presently, he is a professor of fine decorative art and techniques at Nicolae Grigorescu, Fine Arts University. Based on the submitted literature, Mr. Bancila’s works have been exhibited throughout Europe and he is recognized as a professional artist of the free fine arts.

The applicable subheading for sculptures created by Dan Bancila will be 9703.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for original sculptures and statuary, in any material. The rate of duty will be free.
