This regulation outlines the process for applying for export permits for cultural property in Finland, in accordance with the Act on the Restriction of the Export of Cultural Property (933/2016). It establishes clear guidelines for submitting applications through the National Board of Antiquities, ensuring transparency and proper documentation.
Applicants must provide specific information, including personal and contact details, the country of export, and the history of the cultural property. Additional documentation may include authorization for export, photographs, and estate division agreements for certain cases. These requirements ensure that the cultural property is properly tracked and managed.
The regulation also sets forth procedures for temporary export bans and the return of cultural property to Finland. This systematic approach helps protect Finland’s cultural heritage while regulating the movement of significant cultural items across borders.
