Chapter 3: European Union Member States
Are there any special export restrictions on certain objects or other considerations I should
know about?
Movable monuments are under state protection and are designated as such according to
the procedure in the Heritage Conservation Act. An object is designated as monument by
a directive of the Minister of Culture on the expert assessment of the NHB and a proposal
from the Heritage Conservation Advisory Panel. The NHB can place an object of cultural
value under temporary protection in order to determine the need to designate it as a
monument. Such temporary protection can last up to six months.
What are the requirements if I want to import cultural goods into Estonia from Russia?
You should declare the goods and be able to produce information that proves that the
goods were exported legally from Russia.
