Artsy International Shipping (US Exports)

Artsy International Shipping is now available for all U.S. export orders made with Buy Now, Make Offer, and Make Offer in Inquiries.

With Artsy International Shipping, we calculate shipping costs for collectors upfront. The collector chooses a shipping option, pays for it, and you’re provided with either a shipping label or collection information from ARTA.

How is Artsy International Shipping different from Artsy Shipping?

1. For Artsy International Shipping (U.S. Exports), you will need to provide your exporter information including tax ID, artwork origin address, artwork information, and harmonized tariff code. Once all the information is provided, ARTA will create a commercial invoice for shipment. 

2. ARTA will need authorization from you to fill the export information on your behalf. This includes signing the Power of Attorney for ARTA to start the export filing process. Once the process is completed and approved, you will receive a copy of the Power of Attorney and the Commercial Invoice. 

Note: You may receive an “Action Required” email if there is any missing or inconsistent information. 

U.S. exports shipping options for collectors:

Self-ship (packing required)

If the collector chooses this shipping option you will receive a shipping label and will need to pack the artworks yourself.

If you printed a shipping label, you’ll need to package the artwork and schedule the appropriate carrier to collect it or drop it off at a location convenient for you.

Full service (includes collection, packing, and shipping) 

If the collector chooses this shipping option, the artwork will be packed and handled for you. 

If you received collection information from ARTA, there is no need to package the artwork, as ARTA will schedule a pick-up, pack and ship the artwork.
