Last years we receive may paintings from different countries of the world, mostly France, Germany, USA. Sending us a painting has the main advantage, that a work of Polish artist will sell best in Poland.

Since over 10 years Poland has been developing free market economy, changing bank system, duty charges and tax regulations in order to fit the Europe Community law. That is why now it is safe and easy to send us an object and, if unsold, take it back.

There is one law that still exists in the country, that forbids taking out any object created before year 1945. This, however do not apply to objects incoming from outside of Poland, provided we perform a conditional custom clearance. This is quite easy, and totally costless for customers operation. We only need a proforma invoice made by you, according to the specimen you can download here.

There are few steps how to send us a painting:

1. You find a local shipper. We do not recommend courier companies like UPS or DHL because they are costly and usually do not insure art objects. We suggest simply air cargo companies like Lufthansa Cargo or other specialized in sending art objects.
   
   
2. You pack the painting carefully expecially if it has a fragile frame (watch for corners !). Some shipping companies can do it for you for a fee.
   
   
3. You include documents as proforma invoice - it is very important you include 3 originals. We need an original for custom clearance procedure, any xero, fax won't do. Upon our experience, we know, that if you prepare 3 originals we get finally 1, others are taken by shipper.
   
   
4. You send us via email an airway bill no (AWB) as soon as you get it from your shipper. We can then prepare custom procedure before even the object lands in Warsaw.
   
   
5. Since we get the painting out of the airport we send you our consignment sale agreement (a specimen you can download here), with a request you fill it and send us one copy back. Upon the agreement we will be able to transfer you money after the sale.
