Arranging a New York collection from overseas? Include the collection address, destination country and timing so the route and responsibilities can be reviewed.
International movement
The shipment is a chain of responsibilities.
International art shipping brings the artwork, crate, documentation, customs process, freight routing, agents, insurance decisions, and destination handover into one sequence.
Aiston coordinates from New York with clients, brokers, carriers, and destination partners according to the project scope. Requirements vary by artwork, countries, purpose, value, route, timing, and receiving conditions, so planning begins with facts rather than a standard promise.

Important distinctions
International shipping questions
Does Aiston act as the customs authority?
No. Aiston can coordinate shipment information and work with customs brokers, carriers, and agents according to scope. Authorities and service providers determine their requirements.

Not always. The object, route, carrier, handling environment, destination, and insurance requirements inform the packing decision.
Can Aiston coordinate delivery after customs release?
Yes, destination delivery can be coordinated with an appropriate partner, along with installation, storage, viewing, or return logistics when included.
Start with the essentials
Tell us what is shipping, from where, and when it must arrive.
Aiston reviews the artwork, locations, access, schedule, and connected services before confirming scope. A quote request is not a booking or an automatic price.
