Export

necessary export licence applications on request.

some property in the country of importation. As an illustration only, we

set out below a selection of the categories of works or art, together

with the value thresholds above for which a French «certificat pour un

bien culturel» (also known as «passport») may be required so that the

lot can leave the French territory; the thresholds indicated in brakets is

the one required for an export licence application outside the EU, when
