Introduction
At PM Relocations (PMR), we understand the importance of preserving your fine art's integrity throughout the relocation process. As experts in international packing services, we ensure that your art arrives at its destination in perfect condition, no matter how far it travels. Here's a step-by-step guide to preparing your fine art collection for international relocation.
Start with a Detailed Inventory
Collaborate with an international moving company specializing in fine art transportation services. PMR, with vast experience in relocating art collections and moving art studios, can help you through the full procedure, ensuring that every detail is paid attention to.
Choose the Right Packing Materials
- Acid-free tissue papers shall be used on paintings to protect them from any damage during transportation by smudges or discolorations.
- High-quality bubble wrap for padding and protecting sculptures and frames.
- Custom-made crate for more significant or oddly shaped works of art.
- Corner protectors together with foam boards for framed pictures
Consider the Mode of Transport
- Air Transport: Air transportation is often the best option for moving art across the country or internationally when time is a constraint. It is faster and more manageable when it comes to controlling environmental conditions. PMR has specific air freight forwarding services tailored towards delicate fine artworks.
- Sea Transport: For more extensive art collections or galleries looking for more profitable solutions, sea freight may be an option. It’s slower but ideal for bulkier pieces and art gallery relocation projects.
Ensure the Appropriate Insurance
For fine art movements, PMR is an insurer specialized in customized insurances that protect each piece represented in your art gallery. We will steer you along this path and make sure you have the right coverage in place, so that you can have a peaceful mind during relocation.
Consider Special Storage Needs
At PMR we provide fine arts storage services that guarantee your works are kept under a controlled environment either temporarily or on a long-term basis’. Our storage facilities are designed to protect your collection from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and other environmental factors that could compromise the integrity of your artwork.
Pay Attention to Customs and Documentation
- Customs formalities: Ensure you have the proper documentation for your artworks, such as certificates of authenticity, invoices, and detailed descriptions.
- CITES permits: If your artwork includes materials like ivory or certain types of wood, you may need a CITES permit to ensure it complies with international wildlife trade regulations.
