Speaking of trade in works of art, the various countries can be regarded as importers, exporters, countries in transition, and so on. The distinction most commonly see on the one hand the supporters of free market countries and other countries, where trade and export are limited and where  a special permit is required for exportation.

At the international level have been approved a number of documents with the intent to prevent the illegal traffic of works of art. Among these surely plays the major role  the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the means to prevent and prohibit the import, export and illegal transfer of cultural goods.
