A word about
customs: Original works of art are duty free in the United States. Art is NOT duty free or VAT free in many other countries.
This must be considered upon shipment, because if / when the items come back to you, your country MAY assess VAT or Duty fees
upon the return shipment if you have not taken the proper steps to pre-register your shipment with your customs office prior
to original US export, or obtaining VAT relief using your assigned VAT registration number.
IMPORTANT:
REGARDLESS OF YOUR CARRIER
CHOICE, YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE THE PROPER STEPS TO REGISTER YOUR SHIPMENT WITH YOUR LOCAL CUSTOMS OFFICE PRIOR TO THE ORIGINAL
U.S. EXPORTATION IN ORDER TO AVOID VAT OR DUTY IF THE ITEMS ARE TO BE RETURNED TO YOU. THIS CANNOT BE DONE AFTER THE
ITEMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SHIPPED TO THE U.S. IF YOU DO NOT REGISTER YOUR ITEMS PRIOR TO LEAVING YOUR COUNTRY, AT THE
CONCLUSION OF THE EXHIBITION & RE-SHIPMENT BACK TO YOU,
YOUR ITEMS WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE PREVAILING RATE OF DUTY
OR VAT TAXES.
You will be responsible to prepare the commercial
invoice and pre-register the shipment with your local customs prior to initial export.
Be SURE to identify
yourself as a participant in the SNMFA International Masters of Photography Exhibition 2013.
If you have any specific transport related questions, contact the Museum.
