CSS has added another feather to its glorious cap by completing a Fine Art export for a prestigious client. These high valued paintings needed to be moved from UAE to its destination in the USA. We were successful in achieving this complex shipment which involved several intricate details being looked into.
Fine Art shipments require thorough pre-planning so that it is executed without any issues from start to finish. Since the shipment was delicate and high-priced, CSS facilitated a seamless process till door delivery in the USA.
There were four pieces of very expensive paintings done by one of the most renowned international artists of Dubai who wished to ship for one of their buyers in the USA. The timeline was tight with plenty to do right from gathering the packing materials, arranging soft-packing, erecting the paintings, ensuring wood treatment is done to avoid any bending etc. Post packing, a sensitive movement was required with escorts from CSS warehouse to Airport. Being an unusually large packed crate it could only be carried by cargo freighter. Thereafter liaison with airline ground staff was carried out to ensure the crate is boarded on time to its destination. In the last-mile we performed the customs clearance in USA, valuation by customs, survey of the crate condition, pick this valuable Art-Crate to deliver and unpack to shelf to the new proud owner’s gallery.
Big Thanks to the splendid job done right from the sales person to identify the prospect, the Operations team to carry out the job with precision and deliver on time at destination.
