In contrast to the EU Russia's legislation on the import and export of cultural property more strictly. In Russia, a law developed in 1993 with later amendments. According to him the main factor determining whether the subject is considered a cultural value, is only his age, which should in this case exceed 50 years. In contrast to EU countries on the export of cultural property from Russia has always needed a document: authorization, if the subject of over 50 years, and certificate, if established less than 50 years ago. These include, for example, Soviet Russia and awards, any operations that generally are prohibited in Russia. State duty for items older than 50 years is 10%of their value.
Import to Russia objects not less expensive than take out. Only four years ago at the initiative of Rosokhrankultura was canceled 18 per cent duty on import of cultural property, but only for individuals and for personal use. It is not surprising that European auction houses still do not make trades in Russia, despite the level of demand for antiques.
