International transport of works of art

Entrust your works of art to an expert, rigorous and caring team. At TBI, every shipment is handled with care, discretion and precision.

Sensitive logistics, where every detail counts

Transporting a work of art isn’t just moving a parcel. It’s about guaranteeing its safety, value and integrity. Whether you’re a gallery owner, an artist, a curator or a collector, you need a logistics partner who understands what’s at stake in your sector: fragile pieces, handling imperatives, specific customs formalities, appropriate insurance, total confidentiality.

At TBI, we implement tailor-made solutions for the national and international transport of works of art, combining logistical rigor, an international network and human follow-up of each operation.

Our solutions for transporting works of art

We offer highly secure services, adapted to the nature and value of each piece. This includes air and road transport with specially adapted vehicles, customized packaging (air-conditioned crates, reinforcements, anti-vibration treatment), escort if necessary, and management of customs authorizations (temporary export, ATA carnet, specific licenses).

We also coordinate pick-ups, manage specialized art insurance, and provide precise tracking at every stage, from the workshop or museum to the final destination.

Our teams are trained to cultural industry standards, in line with French and international customs regulations.

Where do we ship?

TBI organizes art shipments from France to anywhere in the world: galleries in New York or Dubai, fairs in Miami or Shanghai, museums in Africa or Europe. Our logistics network covers the main international hubs, with trusted relays at every stage.

We operate from our agencies in France (Paris, Le Havre, Marseille, Lyon, Roissy) with dedicated storage and preparation capacity for this type of merchandise.

Let's talk about your needs

Every work of art deserves special treatment. At TBI, we always start by listening: what are your requirements? Where is the piece going? What is its value, its fragility, its format? From there, together we build a customized, reliable and secure solution.
