Submitting foreign coins to PCGS

I'm probably overlooking something very obvious, but where are the instructions for submitting foreign (non-US) coins to PCGS? I've submitted many US coins and the process is well described and straight forward. I can't find anything at all on submitting foreign coins. For example, do I use the same submission form? Is there a coin lookup database? Thanks in advance.

It's the same form as US, the old one form fits all. I have submitted hundreds if not thousands of foreign and have never used a PCGS coin number. Just make sure the coin is described correctly, i.e. country, date, mintmark, etc and you will not have a problem.

<< <i>As stated, PCGS doesn't distinguish on the forms between US and non-US. However, for all pre-1955 non-US coins, you must select Secure Plus on the form. >>
Thanks, and yes I saw that. Makes me think a little harder about which coins I am submitting.
It will auto fill some of the info for you. Be careful that you select the correct strike: MS vs PL vs PR vs DC and RD vs RB vs BN.
edit to add: there is a 50 line limit to the online form
