Q: Laws Relevant to Stamp Collecting

I have found interesting the following quite recent law, published under the
title "CYBER CRIME" on:

http://www.stampsofindia.com/Content.../Misc/laws.htm
(excerpt)

"IMPORT & EXPORT
Commodity Classification for Imports
The new 8-digit commodity classification for imports was adopted from April
1, 2002.

4907 00 10 Indian Unused postage, revenue or similar stamps including
stamp-impressed paper of current or new issue

9704 00 10 Postage or revenue stamps, used or unused
9704 00 20 Stamp-post marks, first-day covers, used or unused
9704 00 90 Postal stationery (stamped paper), and the like, used or
unused
9704 00 90 Philatelic accessories

Import
The import is free for stamps other than those covered under heading '4907
00 10'.

The import of items covered under '4907 00 10' is restricted. Specific
permit or license from the Director General of Foreign Trade is required for
import of items under this heading.

Custom Tariff
There is also no Custom Duty on of stamps other than those covered under
heading '4907 00 10' where it is charged at the rate of 25% of the face
value.

Export
There are no restriction to export of stamps that are less then 100 years
old."

In Switzerland, at my present knowledge, there aren't restrictions in what
concerns the import or export of stamps.

I wonder what say the laws of your country.
