Customs and Fine Arts

Gallery owners and private individuals, do you know if your works are "cultural goods" whose removal is subject to authorization? Museums and exhibition organizers, are you familiar with the procedure for the temporary removal of a "national treasure"?

In France, as in other countries, there are regulations on the circulation of works of art. Control is exercised jointly by the Ministry of Culture and the Customs Service.
