Transport of works of art for temporary exhibition throughout France

We take care of all the cultural formalities that certain works of art may be subject to, such as Exit Permits, Cultural Property Certificates, Capital Gains Exemptions, Licences, etc.

For export and import, certain works made with elements from endangered animal or plant species also require CITES formalities.

We take care of all fine arts or CITES formalities (for export and import when necessary) with the Ministry of Culture or the Ministry of the Environment.

Drawing up customs documents

For all transport to or from countries outside the European Union, we take care of the customs formalities, whether temporary or permanent, in France (Paris and the provinces) or abroad via our network of correspondents.

Assistance to security escorts

When requested by the lender, we can take care of booking hotels, transport for security escorts with and without works by land or air, and distributing per diems.

Our work assisting security escorts starts from the first contact with the lenders:

• Establishing the packing/removal schedule according to the security escort's availability
• Ensuring a place in our lorry or accompanying car
• Booking plane/train tickets or hotel rooms
• Booking taxis or other vehicles
• Distributing per diems
• Submitting a summary with a consignment form
• Furthermore, when an air shipment is transported, we provide security escort assistance. The supervisor obtains an access badge in the airline's warehouse for the security escort to attend the palletisation and provides guidance throughout the operations.

Abroad, as with supervisions, we entrust these services to the specialised art correspondents who we work with regularly.

International partners: our foreign correspondents

For services abroad we work with a network of correspondents, most of whom are members of the ICEFAT network or ARTIM network. We select them based on our experience of past exhibitions over many years. Our selection criteria are the technical and realistic aspect of their quotes, their responsiveness to our needs, and their prices.

Insurance:

We have taken out the necessary insurance for civil liability and offer additional ad valorem
insurance for handling and transport. For temporary exhibitions, we can offer "nail to nail" insurance solutions.
