Generally, the cost of antique and artworks shipping depends on its weight and value. Though air freight shipping is more expensive than ocean shipping, it provides you with a faster, safer and risk lower service, and you will have your special goods transported to your destination on day-definite basis.
Keep in mind that the price of packing of unframed/framed artwork and antiques depends on its size, the cost of packing materials and, of course, the number of packers engaged. There are two types of cover to choose from. They are: Owner Packed (the basic insurance for owner packed items covering loss and theft but excluding damage and breakage with the charge of 2.5% of the declared value of the goods), and All Risks (covers all goods that have been packed by agents and includes loss, theft, damage and breakage with the charge of 3.5% of the declared value of the goods). You should summarize all above mentioned costs and the air shipping charges to get entire shipping rate for your exclusive goods moving.

Value-added service options may vary by origin, destination, and air freight service selected. But they are usually as the following: Declared Value, Hold at Destination Airport for Pickup (HAPU), Liftgate Services, Residential Delivery and Pickup, Cargo Insurance, etc.
Certainly, additional-charge items are non-commissionable and they apply to all shipments. Some of them apply only to definite airports, types of cargo, cargo-handling procedures, termination fees charged at destination or special services and equipment that a particular shipment may require.
Others (such as fuel and security surcharges) are based on a fee per pound or kilogram, which may vary by originating/destination country.
