Export Permit

Legal & Organizations

An official authorization required by law to take cultural property (such as antiquities, artworks, or historical objects) out of a country. Many nations have laws that designate certain heritage items as national treasures or culturally significant, and an export permit system ensures these items are reviewed before leaving the country (to prevent illegal trade or permanent loss of heritage).
