We will then examine your finds and then apply on your behalf for the export license (you may be responsible for charges incurred) . If any of the artefacts are of greater importance then they can be taken into the local Finds Liason Officer where experts will ID and record the item giving you a greater depth of information.

Once the application has been granted the item will be mailed to the finder with the license attached by secure mail.
