No, but the shipping documents in BOTH directions must state words to
the effect:

'This product was made in 1888, before applicable EU Directives existed.
It is being shipped for/after repair to as close to its original
specification as possible.'

Use the word 'REPAIR', not 'refurbish' or any other word, some of which
have specific meanings attached in Guidelines to Directives.
