Stuart,
 
Many countries have restrictions on the exportation of meteorites that they
sometime consider National Treasures. And some of those restrictions have
been around for a very long time; for instance: India since the 1890s.

It is 11 years old, so not entirely accurate, for instance it does not
mention Argentina's ban on the exportation of meteorites. But it is a starting
point for further research.
Yes, countries have the right to create any laws they please. And yes, like
it or not, those are Laws.

Why is an export permit required? Is there some restrictions on rocks
there?
I have bought gun parts from Canada with no paperwork involved.
