On April 2, 2025, the U.S. government announced new import tariffs. This immediately raised concerns within the art and antiques sector. Would artworks also be affected by these new measures?

Fortunately, U.S. Customs has since provided some clarity. The good news: a 90-day pause has been put in place for most of the newly announced tariffs. This means that, for now, many art shipments can proceed as usual, without unexpected additional costs.

However, some tariffs have already taken effect, so it’s important to stay informed. If you’re planning to ship art to the United States soon, it’s wise to double-check what applies to your specific case.

We understand that changes like these can lead to uncertainty. You want to be sure your artwork crosses borders safely — and without surprises.

That’s where we come in.
