Do I need an export licence?
You need an export licence if you are exporting
objects that are cultural goods as
described in the EU legislation (see Chapter
2) and/or of Slovenian Law (namely, the Cultural
Heritage Protection Act and the Rules
on Identifying Cultural Heritage Objects).
Slovenian Law has a list of categories of
objects that, depending on their age and/or
value, are considered as cultural goods and
therefore need an export licence.
Are there different types of licence? What
type of licence do I need?
Yes. The Rules on Procedure for Issuing
Export and Transfer Licences for Objects
of Cultural Heritage identify the following
types of licence:
• Standard export licence
• Specific open export licence
• General open export licence
• Standard transfer licence
• Specific open transfer licence
• General open transfer licence

infl uential modernist painters and printmakers.

The transfer licences are only applicable
for export to other EU countries. Therefore
they are not required for the export of cultural
goods from Slovenia to Russia. For
this situation, export licences are required.
The standard export licence is issued for
the temporary or permanent export for a
single object or a group of objects.
