Estonia Chapter 3: European Union Member States Estonian legislation provides for the protection of ‘movable monuments’. According to the Heritage Conservation Act, the following may be movable monuments: • Parts severed from immovable monuments • Archaeological findings, ethnographic and historical objects and collections of these • Works of visual and applied art and collections of these which have artistic value or value in terms of religious or cultural history • Machines and fixtures reflecting the development of science, technology or production Movable monuments, as defined by the Heritage Conservation Act, may be taken out of Estonia only for a specified period of time and with an export permit. What are my first steps? How do I plan this process and how long might it take? You should check whether your object belongs to any of the categories in the Annex to Council Regulation 3911/92 on the export of cultural goods. In that case, you have to apply to the NHB for an export licence. You may also have to apply for a national export licence or permit if your object is covered by Estonian national heritage legislation. You are advised to check this with the NHB. For instance, if the object you intend to export is registered as a movable monument under the Heritage Conservation Act, you cannot obtain a permit for permanent export. Contact the NHB to find out which documents need to be presented and how long it takes to issue an export licence. How do I find 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? The NHB keeps a National Register of Monuments. This national inventory covers both built heritage (historic monuments, archaeological monuments and listed buildings) and movable heritage (‘objects of art’). It can be consulted on the website of the NHB. Do museums and galleries need licences for temporary exports (e.g. a touring exhibition)? Do non-profit organisations need export licences? Yes, the temporary export of cultural goods requires the relevant licence. Movable monuments that form part of museum collections can only be exported out of Estonia for a limited period of time. 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. 78
Chapter 3: European Union Member States Estonia 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 Estonia. 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 Estonia to Russia (or to another country outside the EU). You must go through the application process 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, you should note that the goods must remain in Estonia 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. Does the cultural object need to be valued? If so, who will do this? The NHB will assess your object to establish whether it can be considered a movable monument. If this is the case, the NHB can place the object under temporary protection which excludes export, until the Minister of Culture decides whether or not to designate the object as movable monument. Which customs authorities are empowered to deal with the export of cultural goods? All customs offices. What other paperwork do I need to export a cultural object? You need to present the export licence together with the export declaration. What are the penalties if I do something wrong? The liability for violation of cultural heritage legislation includes fines and, in certain cases, the sanctions foreseen in the Criminal Code. 79
