[3] There are a number of cultural and commercial artefacts that the Ministry of CIG regulates by licensing their entry into the country, or by exporting from Iran.

The ministry manages exportation of motion pictures produced in Iran and the importation of films produced outside Iran, including cinematographic and television films.

Books (fiction or non-fiction), published material (such as magazines, serials), or other periodicals, printed matter (like brochures, pamphlets, advertising material, business catalogues, university prospectuses, or other promotional or informational material) are similarly subjected to licensing requirements for import or export.

The images, paintings, sculpture, tableaux, and related objects that may constitute visual art, must also undergo vetting.

The Ministry of CIG issues the licenses that are required for import and export of all such items.
