International Art Shipping

International art shipping is decided before the crate leaves New York. Aiston coordinates packing, crating, documentation, customs-aware communication, routing, and destination handoffs so fewer questions appear in transit.

International projects require more than freight booking. Aiston plans around value, fragility, destination requirements, crate design, insurance needs, schedule, and delivery conditions for gallery shipments, art fair logistics, auction house transfers, museum loans, private collection moves, and cross-border estate work.

Global Shipping Coordination

Aiston coordinates the steps that help artwork move across borders: collection, condition checks, packing, custom crating, freight routing, documentation, destination agents, customs-aware communication, release, storage, installation, or final delivery. The plan is built to reduce uncertainty before the artwork leaves New York.

• Art fair, gallery, auction house, and museum shipments
• Custom crating for paintings, sculpture, antiques, and fragile objects
• Import, export, storage, viewing, and onward delivery coordination

Before Artwork Leaves New York

International projects move more smoothly when packing, paperwork, insurance, destination requirements, and partner handoffs are confirmed early. Aiston can coordinate collection, condition documentation, crate production, freight timing, customs-aware communication, and destination release so the shipment has fewer unknowns once it is in transit.
