Enforcement of Amended Regulation… Criteria for Determining General Cultural Properties’ Production Eras Changed, After the enactment of this regulation, “Works produced after 1946 can now be freely exported. Up until now, the export of cultural properties that have been classified as ‘general cultural properties’ based on artistic, academic value, rarity, clarity, uniqueness, and contemporaneity and have been over 50 years old was generally prohibited from being taken abroad.”,

, “The Cultural Heritage Administration announced that the amended ‘Law on the Preservation and Utilization of Cultural Properties’ will be enforced starting from the 23rd, allowing for the exclusion of works created after 1946 from being classified as ‘general cultural properties’ and enabling their free exportation overseas. General cultural properties refer to cultural properties belonging to the same category as real estate among those that are not designated or registered under the Law on the Preservation and Utilization of Cultural Properties. Works by surviving creators are excluded.”,
