Giclee shipping to foreign countries
Due to the amount of paperwork required to ship overseas, we have changed the ordering policy for customers outside of the US. There is a minimum order of $500 for giclee printing services. We also prefer to ship with client provided shipping accounts. Due to different customs rules in each country, it is impossible to calculate precisely at the origin what those fees are. We also cannot be held responsible for packages damaged outside of the US. This said, we make every effort to work with the shipper to assure we and our clients get reimbursed for any accident.
We have noticed that because of the nature of the giclee printing process, different countries may apply different classifications. A giclee could be categorized as a print or a photograph. In other countries it is classified as art, therefore changing rates. We strive, for customs purposes, to categorize a canvas or a watercolor giclee as a print or photograph; usually art is assessed and higher rates.
