Extend Greece Artifact Import Restrictions
The State Department proposes to extend the Memorandum of Understanding with Greece that imposes import restrictions on categories of archaeological and ethnological material of the Hellenic Republic. That means collectors, museums, and importers will still be limited from bringing those restricted Greek artifacts into the United States. The extension is open for public comment and is linked to the Cultural Property Advisory Committee meeting March 3-5, 2026.
