EXPORT REQUIREMENTS

Since your artwork will be exported from Brazil, it will need to be registered for export at the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional. Please follow the instructions below carefully in order to prevent any delays or difficulty with your shipment.

  1. Please contact the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional prior to your contact with DHL Express. You can find their contact information at this link: www.iphan.gov.br/
    • IPHAN may request the name and destination of the artwork, please find it here for your convenience:
    • [INSERT BUYER NAME/ADDRESS/COUNTRY]
  2. The Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional will provide you with a certificate to approve your artwork for export. You will provide this certificate to DHL Express.
  3. You may then schedule a shipping date for your package by contacting DHL EXPRESS. You will be required to provide our account information here:
    • Leaf Group, Account #969489070
    • Note that this is Leaf Group, not Saatchi Art
    • Please be sure that you obtain a commercial invoice from DHL at this time. It must be included with the shipment.
  4. Once it has been assigned, please provide the waybill number you have created with DHL to support@saatchiart.com, so that we can relay this information to the collector for tracking purposes.
