Packaging and Exporting Fragile African Wood Carvings & Bronze Crafts to European Galleries

Exporting handcrafted African art, wooden sculptures, and bronze carvings to galleries in Europe requires specialized cushioning and moisture protection to prevent structural damage during transatlantic flights.

1. Multi-Layer Protective Cushioning Protocols

Fragile wooden and metal artifacts must be wrapped in non-abrasive tissue paper, followed by high-density bubble wrap and custom-fitted wooden crating or double-wall corrugated boxing.

2. Navigating European Cultural Property & Customs Clearances

Shipping high-value art to Germany or France requires clear pro forma commercial documentation and Certificate of Origin papers.

3. Secure Transit via Haulam Express Export

Utilizing Haulam Express Export guarantees priority 3-5 day delivery, end-to-end GPS parcel tracking, and secure handling for valuable art cargo.
