FOR ALL NON-U.S. ARTISTS
UPDATE 24/04/2025:
Saatchi Art has officially been exempted from DHL's recent suspension of shipments valued over $800 USD into the U.S. This means we are now able to book DHL shipments of any value once again to the U.S.
We’re thrilled that business has resumed as usual for both artists and buyers. However, we may expect modest delays at customs as DHL continues to navigate its capacity constraints.
