Importation of expensive paintings at auction in London
 

Good afternoon , take a beginner , do not blame me for maybe stupid questions ! <! - 6 ~ ~ ->

In general , the situation is this: bought at Christie's ( remotely ) a picture of Oscar Rabin in 1969 for a crazy amount of more than thirty thousand pounds , including all fees and endeesy . I want to legally bring to Russia.

Do I understand correctly the law that the only way to avoid paying the 30%duty - to bring a picture with a " personal use " with a call to the place of the Ministry of Culture of the expert , who will issue a certificate that the picture is a cultural value ?

Do I understand correctly that in the case of sending pictures to my email ( without my crossing the border ), from the payment of 30%I can not get away ?

Very grateful to advance ,
Andrew

As far as I know, everything is indeed the case.

Give authorization to import the picture you have chosen a person who will cross the border.

Marassa, where the customs declaration of import proshtampuete and spetsdeklaratsiyu (if you have issued in London) to export, then, with customs stamps and send them back to auk.dom and get back your VAT.

So it wants a trustee for its services more money than the cost of a ticket to London and back <! - ~ 6 ~

Thank you, this I know.

It seems that my path is in London.

Ride to London and take a walk around London, simply wonderful!

Yeah I know, walking, just now there is no visa, and in connection with the Olympics, a visa in Moscow for a month makes ...

Marassa, buy yourself a week-long tour and combine business with pleasure.

The visa will travel agency.

No, it's not my way - I have a fierce idiosyncrasy on the tour and travel agencies <! - 6 ~ ~ ->

Why do not you seek the services of a special company that will bring you a picture right home for around 500 euros?

These companies exist and you could easily find them, just buy a painting on the London auctions.

Thank you for your very good and informative post !

For 500 euros you can fly yourself and if there is, however, a British visa.
