Does GPSR apply to art sales was a question I was concerned about. I ship art internationally so was keen to find an answer. After some quick research on https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-10-2024-001835-ASW_EN.html The answer states that The GPSR does not apply to antiques, work of art or collectors’ items. This was answered on 6.11.14 by Mr Renders on behalf of the European Commission.

Can you ship art internationally?

Sara Sherwood Art ships original oil on canvas and hand embellished prints internationally. GPSR does not apply to art sales internationally according to the above source. This art can be sent in a roll or in a custom made box. These boxes are handmade to order each time from plywood. Prior to this, the art is usually wrapped in bubble wrap or suitable packing materials.

I have sent art to Europe and USA and as far as Australia and Singapore. I use a shipping agent that can track and deliver the art easily. Air fuel rates can fluctuate so I price on a project by project basis. To request a price email me the full address including postcode or zip. I also need to know if the canvas is going to be shipped in a roll or fully stretched at time of order as this impacts on the canvas retailer I use and the way I set things up to paint. The price of the art is the same supplied stretched or in a roll. Painting the art flat so it can be rolled is a little more time-consuming and this offsets against stretcher bar costs. The product and shipping costs are itemised. I only ship my own art as I am a lifestyle business.
