International delivery of antiques and valuables: trust the professionals at GlobalPost

What challenges can arise during the shipping of valuables?

Shipping antiques and valuables from Ukraine comes with a number of challenges:

• Assessment and appraisal: An appraisal may be required to confirm authenticity and determine cultural value. Some items may be recognized as cultural property, the export of which from Ukraine is prohibited.
• Customs clearance: Preparing export or import customs declarations can be slightly more complex than for standard shipments.
• Packing: Valuable and fragile items require professional packing to protect them from damage during transportation.
• Insurance: Inadequate insurance coverage can lead to significant financial losses in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
• Security: There is a risk of theft or damage to the shipment at any stage of the logistics chain.
• Legal compliance: Lack of knowledge or disregard for export/import regulations can result in delays, fines, or even confiscation of the shipment during export or import.

That’s why self-managing such shipments requires thorough planning and preparation.
