EXPORT REQUIREMENTS
If your artwork was purchased by a collector outside of the European Union, you will be required to provide DHL with an EORI number in order to prevent any delays or difficulty with your shipment. Additionally, any artwork valued over 1,000 euros will require an Export Clearance Order. This document has been attached to this email.
- The issuing agency for EORI numbers is the Ministry of Finance. If you do not have an EORI number, you may find more information on obtaining one through their website: https://www.gov.pl/web/gov/uslugi-dla-przedsiebiorcy
- For additional contact methods, you may find phone and e-mail information at this link: https://www.gov.pl/web/finance/contact2
- Note: If you cannot obtain an EORI number, you need to create a formal document that declares that you are shipping as an individual, and not a business. You will need to create this document and to provide this to the courier to avoid any export complication. If you should require more information about this option, please feel free to contact us directly through this e-mail exchange.
- It is recommended that you have a copy of your Poland Photo ID ready for this process.
- Within three days of your scheduled pickup date, Saatchi Art will provide you with your shipping labels and documents.
- A courier will then come to your location on your chosen pickup date and time to collect your packaged artwork. Please have all necessary documents prepared by this time.
