36 Export of antiques and other cultural goods from Norway

Antiques and objects of artistic, cultural or historical value may, as a general rule, not be exported from Norway without special permission, unless they were legally imported by a member of a mission taking up his or her post in Norway. (Please also note the relevance of the A.T.A. Carnet to antiques imported temporarily for exhibitions, cf. Chapter 35 above.)

Information on the export of antiques and other objects of cultural value from Norway, together with the relevant application forms, can be found on the website of the Norwegian Archive, Library and Museum Authority (“ABM-Utvikling”) at www.abm-utvikling.no. The site provides information in Norwegian, English and German.
