Why the paperwork matters

Obtaining permits to take works of art out of the country is a key element in the safe and timely transport of paintings, sculptures and other art objects. Without the required documents, customs may detain or even confiscate your works, and an attempt to take a cultural property out of the country without a permit can result in heavy fines.

The first step in the paperwork is obtaining an expert opinion, an official document confirming that the work of art is not a cultural property of national significance and may be taken out of Ukraine. Without this opinion, customs will not release your works abroad.

  1. Obtaining an expert opinion is the mandatory first step in preparing export documents.
  2. Next, an export permit must be issued, the official state authorisation to take a cultural property out of the country.
  3. The final stage is preparing a customs declaration, which allows the work to cross the border without hindrance.
  4. ArtDom has many years of experience in handling all these matters and will help you obtain the necessary documents quickly and reliably.
  5. We will ensure the safety of your works of art throughout the journey and provide advice at every stage.

By choosing ArtDom, you get a guarantee of quality and peace of mind at every stage of taking your works abroad. Contact us for help, and we will be glad to arrange the transfer of your works of art promptly and safely.
