United Kingdom Chapter 3: European Union Member States If an export licence is refused for any other reasons, can I appeal? The MLA has the authority to issue or refuse a licence application. You can seek to have a complaint reviewed by the Parliamentary Ombudsman, an officer of the House of Commons who is wholly independent of the government, at any time, by asking your Member of Parliament to put your complaint to the Ombudsman. Which customs authorities are empowered to deal with the export of cultural goods? HM Revenue and Customs are responsible for customs in the UK. All customs offices are empowered to deal with the export of cultural goods. What other paperwork do I need to export a cultural object? When you leave the UK you must present the export licence to the customs officials before the goods leave the country. When you enter Russia, you must show all the relevant documentation and declare the object at customs, passing through the Red channel. See Chapter 4 for further information. What are the penalties if I do something wrong? The penalties for misleading applications for licences and failure to comply with export licence conditions range from fines to a maximum of two years imprisonment. Any licence which was granted in connection with an application where a false statement has been made or false document/information submitted will be invalid. The Dealing in Cultural Objects (Offences) Act 2003 makes it an offence to acquire, dispose of, import or export tainted cultural objects. In this context ‘tainted’ describes a cultural object which has been removed or excavated from a building or structure of historical, architectural or archaeological interest – see the Act for full details. Customs has an enforcement role to investigate and prosecute persons who dishonestly import or export a cultural object that at the time of import or export they know or believe to be tainted. Where it is suspected that an offence under the 2003 Act has been committed, customs has the authority to detain the goods. Customs will seize tainted cultural objects and prosecute people who commit offences under the Act where such objects are discovered and there is sufficient evidence to prosecute. The penalties range from fines to a maximum of seven years imprisonment. What are the standards of service I can expect to receive? The Export Licensing Unit of the MLA operates according to a Code of Practice which is available at: http://www.culture.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/EBB1DC82-258F-4AB0-860F-236B5442ED3E/0/ ELUCodeofPractise.pdf. 230
Chapter 3: European Union Member States United Kingdom The MLA operates according to standards of service and a complaints procedure which can be found at: http://www.mla.gov.uk/website/aboutus/management_records/complaints/. Are there any special export restrictions on certain objects or other considerations I should know about? The OGEL scheme carries special conditions for the following objects: • Portraits in any medium of a British historical person (excluding photography and coins) that are valued between £10,000 and £65,000 must be referred for expertise by either the National Portrait Gallery or Scottish National Portrait Gallery • Textiles (clothing, footwear, articles manufactured from textiles, excluding carpets and tapestries) that are valued between £12,000 and £65,000 must be referred for expertise by the Victoria and Albert Museum The EU licence scheme applies to exports of cultural goods valued above certain financial thresholds. These are quoted in Euros and there is a mechanism to translate this into other currencies. The values were revised in GB pounds in January 2007 and it is expected that they will next be reviewed in late 2008. What are the requirements if I want to import cultural goods into the UK from Russia? HM Revenue and Customs can provide guidance on import duties and VAT. There are procedures for getting tax relief for cultural goods which are imported from outside the European Union and are intended for re-export within two years. 231
