How do I send a picture in the U.S.?
 

Faced with a problem with sending pictures in the United States . I wanted to send them Fedexom , I thought that would be enough to permit removal of the Ministry of Culture , pack and place of customs documents . But no in the Fedex told me that :
A . Freight does not insure , and the customer requests to insure .
Two . Pictures (customer asks me to post the work on the stretcher and frames ) are not packaged as they do not pack this size.
Three . On the issue of customs clearance of following text was sent to me , who did cast me into despair <! - ~ 12 ~ -> :
 
Quote: " You need to get confirmation of that price and other pictures from the experts . And Customs released on their own, can be on a regional . You must have a contract of sale between you and the recipient , a certificate from the Ministry of Culture with photos of paintings. If you want to send each picture separately then make two inquiries. After make inquiries on the cost side and on that picture , will have to make a calculation of costs , where you show how much profit you want to receive from the sale. "

Good people help. <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

sur, there are carriers that specialize exclusively in the transportation of goods Art.
Maybe some of them you will be able to help.
You need to look American.
(They are packed and unpacked, and insure themselves)

Thanks, I'll try.
Only, I fear that if the cost of sending pictures of the gold out.

In Britain , for example 2.5 h1m cost £ 100 ..
 Ask the customer to know ( I'm sure he will be happy to help )
Remember the big picture and Faibisovich Kabakov , they are the same as that forwarded ?
Kabakov its " Beetle " as it is forwarded (or I am again "something confusing ")?

It may be that it is cheaper to fly himself.
I have experience only in reverse: a thousand-table lamp with Christie's was cheaper to fly to New York (vdvoem!) than to pay Christie a half thousand dollars for shipping.

You have not yet faced the "problem" , you just heard one of the conditions of the carriers.
And you need to :
A . determine what you craps - kc or kc , which you will identify an expert Ministry of Culture .
Two . from the fact that an expert in his opinion would write will depend on what you will be given in the Ministry of Culture - an export permit or on the export certificate.
On this will depend on your future relationship with the carrier (- s).
If you have a reference - no problems at all, because can send in any way , even though EMS Russian Rost , and if razeshenie , the KC now from Rossiiotpravit difficult - customs, insurance, etc.
Many carriers simply do not bind to kc .

I recently sent via DHL in the U.S..
In general, no problems, though did not need insurance.
Cost about $ 300.
Call them and tell them all the details and documents about the same.

That were set?
KC?

No problem should not be, if not the KC.

Pack your own and send EMS.

To you it insured - the cost of picture identification required documents (receipt, invoice).

No, of course.
Timkov, wrote about this in the forum.

The last time I was getting an export permit is not kc, the Ministry of Culture is still required to specify the value.
There is a tax-free for at least the export-if-pay more tax.

Thank you to all who responded and helped councils. I did a little too understand the situation . Indeed , it is better to send DHL, it is more expensive but safer. When you send a Fedex often have difficulties with customs and then they are advised to contact the customs brokers , which adds to the problems and greatly increases the cost of delivery , although formally Fedex, almost two times cheaper than DHL.

The insurance will have to give up , because confirming the actual cost of the work , I immediately get on duties and customs clearance problematic . No problem Customs releases the goods to the value of 1000 Euro , but it makes sense to be specified in the declaration has a lower cost of $ 300-400 paintings no more.
 artcol, what can you say about the sending of EMC, as much as expensive mail and will not have any problems at customs, if I decide to use their services ?

I send EMS for 10 years. The main difference from other EMC is that EMC is covered by the Universal Postal laws and kurerki - no. Hence, different modes of customs regulations, etc. Well, the price of shipping from EMC below. As for the insurance has its own nuances, Ulyanovsk loyal to me, but I have a Msc and you, respectively, but will require checks. I sent a couple of times without insurance - you can take a risk, I think everything will be fine. There is an option to call the courier to your home, and there he will take the insurance without a receipt for any amount, as I once did, but the courier got a criminal - pulled out a low-cost image (a gift to the buyer), who I have stuck with him in a parcel separate from the other ( he saw it), and after 3 days of my old grandmother who lives in Moscow, started calling scammers on my behalf and ask for money (and this story has been going on for several years). You have it. In general, with many more nuances of insurance, they long to explain ... Yes, for 10 years I have lost two parcels (one way), and steal in the U.S., and one is almost gone, but she eventually found (a funny story).

With insurance , I decided not to get involved . Ask a question in the forehead. When you send an EMC does not occur if I have problems with customs ? That is, If I point out the low prices of paintings 200-300 dollars for one, will they have me. You specify what price?
 When you call the courier to your home does not require supporting documentation for insurance ? But customs officials could not be prosech that I say, a picture insured for 300 000 rubles , and have the price in the Declaration of 10,000 rubles . Unit ?
 Such are the direct questions . <! - ~ 12 ~ ->
 And yet, what bushing size when sending a parcel EMC? Of course, I go tomorrow, dial and find out , but nevertheless, what I used to know, so I'd better . So, will see whether the size 125h95h12 small weight about 10-12 kg ......

If posting from Moscow - that pointing out that the cost to th recommends postal worker (I do not remember). This is just to problems with customs was not. It is possible that in general "export duty" is not paid - you check it. Everything is constantly changing. If from Ulyanovsk - that I have here a special mode that makes no sense to write about it.


The size also check with them though. And postal workers usually look EMC instructions, and if the parcel does not go quite a bit in size - can not take it. Then call us to a higher authority - and negotiate already there (different sizes of cargo doors in different planes - they know all these details.) I sent the overall package.

For insurance - there are so many nuances in terms of formalities, long time to explain. Customs missed it, unless in fact everything will be fine. The difference in the assessment and the amount of insurance, customs do not care, but the post itself (and in fact - only the staff, so it all depends on the goodwill of inspector).
