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

[sur]

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.

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.

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.

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 ).

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 ?
