Before you decide to transport for instance an antique chest of drawers to Poland, you should check whether a special permission is required from the country you leave,. It is because these are governments of individual countries that minister the cultural heritage of their countries.
Although the Polish government does not impose any requirements concerning transporting the antique goods into the country, such fact has to be declared to the customs office.
On the other hand, if you want to leave Poland with an antique, you need a permission to do so. Such permission is given by the Minister of Culture or the provincial conservation officer.
