Slovenia Chapter 3: European Union Member States Most often, musicians with old instruments who regularly travel for concerts outside Slovenia apply for the specific open licence. This allows them unlimited export and re-import of the instrument for a period of up to five years. I am a tourist visiting Slovenia. 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 Slovenia to Russia (or to another country outside the EU customs area). You must go through the application process with the Ministry of Culture of Slovenia 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. Since the application process takes up to three weeks, you should note that the goods must remain in Slovenia until the licence has been granted and you may have to arrange transportation at a later date. If you are in any doubt, check the age and value of the cultural goods. This determines whether an EU export licence is required. In general, export controls apply to cultural goods which are over 50 years old and of a certain value. You have to check also whether your object falls under the categories covered by national legislation in Slovenia. Is there a fee for an export licence? Yes, when applying for an export licence in Slovenia an administrative duty (upravna taksa) has to be paid. Public institutions are exempted from payment of this duty. Does the cultural object need to be valued? If so, who will do this? Yes, in the licence-issuing procedure the Ministry of Culture obtains expert opinions from the competent national museums in Slovenia. Such opinion must be prepared within 14 days of being requested by the Ministry. Can I appeal against the valuation? If so, how do I do this? No. If an export licence is refused, can I appeal? How do I do that? You can put a lawsuit at the Administrative Court of the Republic of Slovenia (Tržaška 68a, Ljubljana) within 30 days of receiving the refusal. 202
Chapter 3: European Union Member States Slovenia Which customs authorities are empowered to deal with the export of cultural goods? All customs offices in Slovenia are entitled to deal with the export of cultural goods. The details of the Customs Administration of Slovenia are given below. What other paperwork do I need to export a cultural object? When you are granted an export licence in Slovenia, you keep one copy, the second copy being presented to the customs officials. What are the penalties if I do something wrong? The Protection of Cultural Heritage Act sets out the penalties for individuals and organisations that attempt to export cultural goods without the relevant licence. Usually, export without a licence also implies violation of customs rules, and the relevant additional penalties apply. For more serious cases of illegal export or import of cultural goods, the Criminal Code regulations can apply. If a responsible officer or national museum establishes that there is suspicion that an object has been imported contrary to the legislation of the exporting country, or that it has in some other way been unlawfully obtained or deliberately damaged so as to reduce its value, they take action in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Act. What are the standards of service I can expect to receive? Detailed information and details on the procedures can be found on the website of the Ministry of Culture of Slovenia (in Slovenian): http://www.kultura.gov.si/index.php?id=2938 Are there any special export restrictions on certain objects or other considerations I should know about? The permanent export or transfer of an object can be prohibited by the Minister of Culture by means of a decision. This takes place if the expert opinion establishes that a given object forms part of the national treasure of Slovenia. What are the requirements if I want to import cultural goods into Slovenia from Russia? You do not need a special permit for such import. Since Russia, like Slovenia, ratified the UNESCO Convention of 1970, Slovenian customs will only need to check the export documentation issued in Russia for the relevant cultural goods. 203
