Important decisions need to be made when it comes to transport: Can the artworks be transported yourself? Or would it be better to commission a haulage company or courier service? And which route will the objects take: as freight in a car / lorry, by sea, by rail or by plane? The respective advantages and disadvantages need to be weighed up, with financial factors and sustainability aspects also playing a major role.

The customs regulations must also be taken into account. Within the EU, the barriers for importing and exporting goods and for people travelling have been reduced. However, customs regulations must be observed when transporting goods across the borders of the EU customs territory. As international and European customs law and national regulations are interlinked, things can quickly become confusing. When do import or export duties and customs duties have to be paid? What is a returned goods regulation or an identification guarantee? And when should a pro forma invoice be issued or an A.T.A. carnet used?
