Re: [SPAM][Ancientartifacts] LEGAL EXPORTING

Spain do for private ownership and export licenses.

There are an egyptian sarcophagus to be sold in an antiquarian in Barcelona, with papers.

And many other things. And Barcelona is small in that. Go to Madrid, and you will see.

In Barcelona there is also the Egyptian museum, that is a foundation, privately owned.

I think to remember that they get loans from Egypt...So, not so bad.

 

Coins fall under diffussion of culture and have a reduced VAT tax (I collect mainly minerals and then coins...Artefacts are a little out for me...)

And Spain signed Unidroit.

So, not a black beast.

 

You should ask, and you should fill the papers.

Some goods would not get the license (say, a Velazquez from Spain).

But minor ones, if papers are done, no trouble

 

With best wishes

Subject: [SPAM][Ancientartifacts] LEGAL EXPORTING

Hi,

What countries do allow the private discovery, private ownership and
legal export of antiquities?

My research is limited to the internet with often conflicting and
outdated information. I find good information about the countries laws
on metal detecting but nothing definitive on private excavation and
export.

Can someone clarify what countires will allow the export of antiquities
found within their borders? I think it would also be worth noting that
countries with extremely encumbersome export papers and long waiting
periods could be considered as non-exporting countries.

Steve
