General Information

Background

In order to better ensure the protection and preservation of significant examples of our cultural, historic and scientific heritage in institutions and public authorities located in Canada, the Government of Canada adopted the Cultural Property Export and Import Act (Act) in 1977.

The Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board (CCPERB) is an independent administrative tribunal established by the Cultural Property Export and Import Act with three main areas of responsibility: reviewing export permit applications that have been denied; determining fair cash offers to purchase in relation to denied export permits; and certifying cultural property for income tax purposes.
