Authorization to copy cultural property

What this is

Rights due for the Authorization of the Reproduction or Export of Cultural Property are non-tax public revenues collected by the Government in consideration of processing and issuing authorizations for the reproduction or export of protected cultural property in accordance with the applicable regulations. These fees are payable by individuals or legal entities seeking permission to reproduce, digitize, photograph, cast, publish, or temporarily or permanently export cultural property for scientific, educational, cultural, museum, or commercial purposes. The fees cover the administrative and technical assessment of applications, verification of compliance with cultural heritage protection requirements, and the issuance of the required authorization. They are intended to safeguard, protect, and promote the national cultural heritage, regulate the reproduction and movement of cultural property, prevent illicit export and trafficking of cultural assets, and support the financing of government activities related to the conservation, monitoring, and management of cultural heritage.
