The import of the exhibition of paintings in Germany

[Seriy]

German customs officers we saw not on arrival or on departure.
But our frayed nerves . We have a lot of pictures , oversized cargo by size. Customs sits on the second floor. The young lady says, carry your things, unpack and show me pictures. One hundred percent? Yes , all. We go, and lift our things , of course not, by tiny Domodedovo passenger elevator. Tamozhennitsa says, do not know anything , wear whatever you want, even on his head.
Went to look for the customs authorities on the ground floor , found the guy, explained that in any elevators, we did not go in, the plane late, all the documents we okay, personally signed by the Head of the Ministry of Culture preservation of cultural values ​​. The old man looked at photos and documents , talk with the artists and gave us a print.
We wish him all the best , and harmful and lazy lady - just not good. If not for uncle, we had not gone.

Added after 3 minutes
K-Maler, the rules and laws by Marusya own perseverance and I have learned. Formally, if there is a document of a non-profit exhibition in a museum or a special place, exempt from tax , you can import free of tax, but with the design of a special declaration to the list of works that predyavlyat at checkout. All other cases , no options , pay taxes.
And as it is in life , it is very different.
