We have a new informative fact sheet outlining the key need-to-know information about importing and exporting movable cultural heritage.
Cultural heritage property includes art works, historical artefacts, antiques, and natural objects such as fossils.
If you buy any of these types of objects in Australia or overseas, you need to do your research and make sure that your purchase is compliant with Australian cultural property laws.
