The Netherlands Chapter 3: European Union Member States If the application is complete with all required documents (photos, invoices etc.) it takes about five working days to issue an export licence. How do I find out if the art object I want to export is of national significance? Is there a Public Inventory of cultural goods of special interest or importance? If an object falls under the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act, special permission is always required, even for temporary export. You must address your request for permission to the Minister of Education, Culture and Science through the State Inspectorate for Cultural Heritage. Owners of protected cultural goods in the Netherlands are informed about this regulation by the Minister. According to European Commission research, in 2002 some 200 objects and 30 collections in the Netherlands were protected by the Cultural Heritage Protection Act. All the objects were listed and their protected status was known by the owners. There is provision within the Act for an object to be placed under immediate protection but at that point the procedure had only been used twice and never in the context of a refusal of an export licence. Export licences will not be issued for cultural goods that fall under the protective national legislation of another EU member state. It is only possible to obtain an export licence with the permission of the country of origin. This mutual assistance between EU Member States is based on a European Directive and is explained in Chapter 2. Are there any exemptions for particular cultural goods? No exemptions are reported although, if necessary, it is possible to get a written statement from the CDIU to confirm that goods do not require an export licence. Do museums and galleries need licences for temporary exports (e.g. a touring exhibition)? Do non-profit organisations need export licences? Yes. Museums, galleries and non-profit organisations must apply for licences. Any cultural goods that fall under any of the categories, age and value thresholds described in the EU export licence legislation must be covered by an export licence, whatever the type of applicant or purpose. Museums and galleries applying for a licence for temporary export follow the same procedure outlined above. Once it has been approved, the licence is valid for one year. Some institutions in the Netherlands are granted a general open licence which enables temporary and frequent exports of cultural goods for exhibition in a country outside the European Union. These licences can be issued to museums and other organisations for objects which are part of a permanent collection. The objects must be listed in advance and the licence is valid for three years. The applicant must provide all necessary guarantees that the objects will be returned in good condition. 164
Chapter 3: European Union Member States The Netherlands It should be noted that the cultural objects covered by a general open licence must be exported to one address and returned from there. This type of licence may therefore not be suitable for a touring exhibition with multiple venues in different countries. I am a visual artist. Do I need a licence to export my own work? No. Art work which belongs to “the originator” (i.e. the artist who created it) does not require an export licence under the EU export licence legislation, whatever its age or value. Therefore you do not need a licence to export your own work if you still own it yourself. I am a musician. Do I need to know about export regulations if I am travelling with my instrument? Yes. Any musician who wishes to travel outside the European Union with a musical instrument which is over a certain age and value must obtain an EU export licence. This applies whether the export is temporary, e.g. for a concert tour, or permanent. A professional musician who travels frequently with their musical instrument to countries outside the EU for their work can apply for a specific open licence. This will enable them to take their instrument to countries outside the EU for professional purposes on repeated, short-term, temporary occasions. The applicant must give all necessary guarantees that the instrument will be returned to the Netherlands in perfect condition. This type of licence is valid for three years. I am a tourist visiting the Netherlands. If I buy a work of art, how do I take it home with me? The export regulations apply to anyone who wants to take cultural goods of a certain age and value from the Netherlands to Russia (or to another country). You must go through the application process as described in order for the goods to be cleared for export. If you have bought the art work, antique, furniture or other cultural goods from a reputable art or antique dealer, ask their advice on how to apply for the export licence. While the application is being processed, the goods must remain in the Netherlands until the licence has been granted. You may therefore have to arrange for transportation at a later date. If you are in any doubt, check the age and value of the cultural goods. This determines whether an export licence is required. In general, the export controls apply to cultural goods which are over 50 years old and of a certain value. Is there a fee for an export licence? No – there is no fee for the licence. Does the cultural object need to be valued? If so, who will do this? The EU legislation for export of cultural goods has value and age thresholds which deter- 165
