Objects listed on the List of Types of Objects are protected and their export regulated by permits obtained from SAHRA which are issued under the advice of relevant experts, in terms of Section 32 of the NHRA (Act 25 of 1999).

In determining whether to issue a permit for the export of a cultural heritage object SAHRA must consider:

1. Whether the object is “outstanding significance by reason of its close association with South African history or culture, its aesthetic qualities, or  its value in the study of the arts or sciences” and
2. Whether the object is “of such a degree of national importance that its loss to South Africa would significantly diminish the national heritage”.
