北京时间9月16日和18日，国家文物局在华盛顿、纽约分别接收美国国土安全调查局、纽约曼哈顿区检察官办公室向我国返还的两批次共计64件（套）文物艺术品和古生物化石，包括天龙山第17窟西壁北侧菩萨身躯，以及造像、陶俑和恐龙骨架化石、鱼类化石、恐龙蛋化石等。
China's National Cultural Heritage Administration (NCHA) received two batches totaling 64 cultural relics and artifacts, and paleontological fossils from the US on Wednesday and Friday, Beijing Time. The two batches were respectively handed over by the US Homeland Security Investigations in Washington, DC, and Manhattan District Attorney's Office in New York.
The returned items, seized by US law enforcement agencies, include the torso of a bodhisattva statue from the Tianlongshan Grottoes, as well as statues, terracotta figures, dinosaur skeleton fossils, fish fossils and dinosaur egg fossils.
此次美方返还的文物艺术品和古生物化石，均为美国执法部门在工作中查获。国家文物局会同中国驻美国使馆、驻纽约总领馆，与美方密切协作，成功实现上述文物艺术品和古生物化石返还。
The NCHA said that it worked with Chinese diplomatic and consular missions in the United States and relevant US authorities to facilitate the return of the artifacts and that this week's return marked the fifth time the Manhattan District Attorney's Office had returned cultural relics to China.
2009年1月14日，中美两国首次签署《中华人民共和国政府与美利坚合众国政府对旧石器时代到唐末的归类考古材料以及至少250年以上的古迹雕塑和壁上艺术实施进口限制的谅解备忘录》，此后连续三次续签。依据谅解备忘录，两国政府部门积极开展返还合作，实现多批次流失美国的中国文物回归祖国。
China and the US signed a memorandum of understanding in January 2009 aimed at preventing the illegal import of Chinese cultural relics into the US, which has since been extended three times.
