Art shipping encompasses the entire logistics process for artworks—from intake through expert packaging to final delivery. It includes insurance registration, customs clearance, and coordination with museums, galleries, or private collectors. Unlike standard parcel services, art shipping specialists work closely with conservation professionals to ensure that climate conditions and handling requirements specific to each piece are maintained throughout the journey.
