What is required for high-risk cultural items to enter the EU under Regulation 2019/880?

The requirement for high-risk cultural items entering the EU under Regulation 2019/880 is that they may enter with an import license. This regulation aims to combat the trafficking of cultural property and ensure that high-risk items comply with certain controls before being allowed entry into the Union.

An import license acts as an official authorization indicating that the importing party has the necessary documentation and justification to bring in the cultural object. This facilitates a thorough assessment of the item's provenance and ensures compliance with international and national laws aimed at protecting cultural heritage.

The other options do not align with the specific provisions of the regulation, as high-risk cultural items require more than just a declaration or possess a certain value; they are subject to detailed import controls to prevent illegal trade.
