Since your artwork will be shipped outside of Romania, you will be required to obtain specific export documents in order to avoid significant delays, or the possible return of your shipment.
- The document confirms that the artwork is not from Romanian National Patrimony and is not a cultural or heritage good.
- To receive this document, you will need to contact the Direcţia pentru Cultură a Municipiului Bucureşti, or Cultural Direction Department at the Culture Ministry
- Contact information:
- Address: Str. Sfântul Stefan nr. 3, Sector 2, Bucuresti, cod postal 023996
- Telephone:: +021 323 26 11
- E-mail: contact@dcmb.ro
- Website: https://www.directiapentruculturaamunicipiuluibucuresti.ro/
- The Ministry will help to provide you with a declaration that your artwork is under 50 years of age and that you (the artist) is alive. Therefore, your artwork is NOT a cultural good and you will have the permission for the artwork to export.
Once you receive the necessary documentation, you will need to package your shipment according to our guidelines.
