Finland Chapter 3: European Union Member States A performing artist or a person practising a profession is not required to apply for an export licence for an instrument or other equipment used in their work, which will be returned to Finland after the performance or work is completed. Do museums and galleries need licences for temporary exports (e.g. a touring exhibition)? Do non-profit organisations need export licences? The procedure is the same as for definitive export licences, if the cultural objects are to be exported outside EU. The maximum length of time allocated for a temporary export licence is two years. If an object is taken out of Finland for a fixed period of time and the licensing authorities set the date for its return, the owner of the object must report to the authorities when the object is returned to Finland. I am a visual artist. Do I need a licence to export my own work? No. An export licence is not required if the object is owned by an individual who is the producer, designer or creator of the object. I am a musician. Do I need to know about export regulations if I am travelling with my instrument? A performing artist or a person practising a profession is not required to apply for a national export licence for an instrument or other equipment used in their work, which is to be returned to Finland after the performance or work is completed. If the instrument is not being exported for use in a performance but for conservation, repair or other purposes, a national export licence must be obtained. If the financial value of an instrument to be exported outside the EU exceeds the value thresholds set in Council Regulation 3911/92, you must apply for an EU export licence for cultural goods. I am a tourist visiting Finland. If I buy a work of art, how do I take it home with me? You should check the list of categories of objects that fall under national law and Council Regulation 3911/92 on the export of cultural goods. If the object you bought belongs to any of these categories (plus relevant age or age and value criteria), you must apply to the appropriate authority for an export licence. You should allow enough time for the delivery of the export licence and the goods must remain in Finland until it is granted. Is there a fee for an export licence? Yes. The licence is subject to a fee as prescribed in the Government’s Basis of Payment Act (150/1992). The National Board of Antiquities charges a licence fee in accordance 86
Chapter 3: European Union Member States Finland with the Act on Criteria for Charges Payable to the State. Municipal licence authorities can charge a fee for processing a licence. In 2007 the licence fee was 54 €. However, the fee may be waived if: • The object belongs to the household effects of a person emigrating abroad • A person living abroad has received the object as an inheritance or under a deed of partition • The object is taken from Finland for a limited time (on a temporary export licence) up to a maximum of two years Does the cultural object need to be valued? If so, who will do this? The licence authority undertakes the expertise and bears the cost. Can I appeal against the valuation or refusal of an export licence? If so, how do I do this? A decision given under the 1999 Act may be appealed to the County Administrative Court as prescribed in the Act on the Application of Administrative Law (586/1996). The export licence may be refused if the cultural goods in question are covered by national legislation protecting national treasures of artistic, historical or archaeological value in a Member State. 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? For the national licence, the second copy of the application form is the actual export licence that remains in the possession of the applicant. The third copy is submitted to the customs authorities. The export licence with photographs must be presented to the customs authorities before taking the cultural object out of the country. The EU export licence must be presented, in support of the export declaration, when the customs export formalities are carried out. No duties/taxes are payable on export. What are the penalties if I do something wrong? A person who without appropriate permission or otherwise in violation of import or export provisions or regulations imports, exports or attempts to import or export goods, the import or export of which is prohibited or requires the permission or inspection of an authority, can be sentenced for smuggling to a fine or to imprisonment for up to two years. The offender may also be ordered to forfeit the goods. 87
