Denmark Chapter 3: European Union Member States is granted, experts from national institutions and museums give their opinion on the impact on the national heritage if the goods were exported. The question they ask is whether the export would cause a substantial loss to national cultural heritage. Are there any exemptions for particular cultural goods? Coins and medals are the only cultural objects explicitly exempted from the national regulations. 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 the categories described in the Danish national legislation and/or EU export licence legislation must be covered by an export licence, whatever the type of applicant or purpose. Under the legislation, the Cultural Assets Commission may grant a standing export licence to state-owned or state-subsidised museums, or others exporting cultural objects in connection with exhibitions and the like abroad. 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 (as described in Chapter 2). This applies whether the export is temporary, e.g. for a concert tour, or permanent. I am a tourist visiting Denmark. 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 Denmark to Russia (or to another country). You must go through the application process with the Danish Commission in order for the goods to be cleared for export. As a tourist, you should be aware of how the regulations are applied to sales from auction houses. The Commission on Export of Cultural Assets has made an agreement with certain auction houses on a special procedure. Prior to the auction the Commission will go through the catalogue and if necessary inspect relevant items. On the basis of this inspection they will then advise the auctioneer in writing which items will require the Dan- 72
Chapter 3: European Union Member States Denmark ish Commission’s permission if the buyer wishes to take them out of Denmark after the auction. In such cases the auctioneer is obliged to keep the relevant items in custody until an export licence has been granted. In 2005 the Commission made advance examinations of 34 sales catalogues comprising 18,545 catalogue items. They made reservations in the case of seven objects. Since the export licence application process takes up to a month, you should note that the goods must remain in Denmark until the export licence has been granted, after which you can arrange transportation. 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? When you apply, you must provide an assessment of the value of the object, made by an expert in the field. You must also provide information on where the object can be inspected. For each application, experts from national institutions and museums on the Commission give their opinion on the impact on national heritage if the goods were to be exported. Can I appeal against the valuation? If so, how do I do this? It is not possible to appeal against the decision on importance for national heritage. If an export licence is refused, can I appeal? How do I do that? If an application for an export licence is refused, the State must offer to buy the object at market price, although it has no right of pre-emption. The value of the object is fixed on advice from special experts. If the owner does not accept the offer within three months, it lapses. Legal action can be taken through the courts if an export licence is refused. Which customs authorities are empowered to deal with the export of cultural goods? All customs offices in Denmark can deal with export of cultural goods. What other paperwork do I need to export a cultural object? When you leave Denmark, you must show the relevant export licences. 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. 73
