I do not accept any responsibility for additional customs taxes, duties or any other fees upon shipment's arrival to your country.
For original sculptures, the Harmonized Commodity Description used by the World Customs Organization is 97 03 000000. My bronze and glass cast sculptures are considered original because the number of casts is limited to 12 (8 numbered 1/8, 2/8, etc. and 4 artist proofs).
