| If you plan to collect Chinese antiques you should understand the current laws regarding the export of ntiques from China. Any item more than 40 years old will need to have a "red seal" before it can be exported. The red seal is your guarantee that you can take your purchase out of China. Keep all purchase receipts. Red seals can be affixed and appraisals carried out (for a fee) at the Culture Relics Bureau, prior to leaving China. You can arrange for an inspector to inspect your purchases and advise which articles need seals. The inspector can fix seals as appropriate. Many people prefer to have the seals affixed during the course of their stay rather than during the busy period just prior to departure. Those who already own Asia antiques should check to make sure they would not have any problems exporting them at the end of their assignment. Most antiques found in the street markets are from Qing Dynasty and are approximately 100-150 years old. Only antiques made after 1789 may be legally taken out of China. Here we recommend 7 shops in Shanghai. |
