Supplementary notes

The frames for establishing the list of cultural goods for the purpose of international trade were set up by ESSnet-Culture and UNESCO in their respective frameworks for cultural statistics. In both frameworks the core criterion of the identification of 'cultural' goods is the 'artistic creation' and what the products are conveying in terms of symbolic, artistic and spiritual or aesthetic values. To build the list, the 10 cultural domains as identified by ESSnet-culture (heritage, books and press, visual arts, art craft, performing arts, audio-visual and multimedia, architecture, archives, libraries and advertising) were analysed from 'product perspective'. This analysis enabled the identification of numerous 'cultural' codes within seven domains (except archives, libraries and advertising).
Current list of cultural goods reflecting the scope revision (2016) and the changes in the CN in 2017 includes the following product categories:

Antiques; Works of art; Craft articles; Jewellery; Books; Newspapers; Maps; Architecture plans and drawings; Photographic plates and films; Recorded media (CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, magnetic tapes, gramophone records); Video game consoles; Musical instruments.
