What International Shipping Really Costs for Prints

Auvrique does not currently list Else Berg editions, so there is no fixed fee to quote. What follows is how international print shipping is priced, what it typically runs, and where hidden costs appear.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Auvrique does not currently offer Else Berg editions, so no Else Berg shipping cost exists to quote. For comparable framed prints and canvases shipped internationally, expect roughly $15 to $60 for unframed posters, $40 to $120 for framed pieces, and more for large canvases, with customs duties billed separately on arrival.

The honest answer on Else Berg shipping

There is no Else Berg shipping cost to state, because Auvrique does not currently carry editions of her work. Any page quoting a specific fee for this artist would be inventing a number. The useful answer is the one that applies when an edition does appear in the catalogue, and it depends on three things only.

Weight, destination, and declared value. A rolled poster weighs little and ships cheaply. A framed print behind glass is heavier, more fragile, and packed in a larger box, which pushes the fee up sharply. A stretched canvas is bulky without being heavy, so dimensional weight rules often apply. Destination matters less within the EU than it does for shipments crossing into the US, Canada, or Australia.

What the fee typically looks like

For a sense of scale, an unframed poster shipped abroad usually lands between $15 and $60. A framed poster such as the Port of Dieppe framed poster travels in a rigid, protective pack and generally runs $40 to $120 internationally, depending on distance and carrier. Large canvases can exceed that range. These are market norms for print retailers, not a quote for any specific order.

The number that surprises buyers is rarely the shipping fee itself. It is the customs charge. When a print crosses a border, the destination country may assess import duty and sales tax on the declared value. A $90 framed print can attract $10 to $30 in charges on arrival, billed to the buyer. Reputable sellers state this plainly rather than letting it surface at the door. If you are weighing formats, the difference between a framed poster edition and a canvas also changes the shipping class, as covered in canvas versus poster availability.

What drives the cost

Weight and packed dimensions, which carriers price by dimensional rules
Destination country and its customs treatment of art reproductions
Declared value, which determines duty and import tax owed on arrival
Fragility, since glass framed pieces require heavier protective packing

How to avoid the surprise charges

Ask one question before ordering from any print seller: does the checkout price include duties, or will the carrier bill me on delivery? Some retailers ship duties paid, meaning the price you see is the price you pay. Others ship duties unpaid, which is cheaper at checkout and more expensive in total. Neither is wrong, but the difference should be visible before you commit.

The same logic applies to delivery windows. A fee that buys air freight buys speed; a fee that buys economy post can mean three weeks in transit. If timing matters, the tradeoffs are set out in delivery time from order to arrival. And if a piece arrives damaged, which is the real risk with framed glass abroad, the remedy depends entirely on the seller's policy, so read it before paying rather than after. For current Else Berg availability, or any artist not yet in the catalogue, the honest move is to ask the seller directly rather than assume.

The shipping fee is rarely the cost that hurts. Customs is.

Format	Typical fee	Notes
Unframed poster	$15 to $60	Ships rolled, light and low risk
Framed print	$40 to $120	Rigid packing, higher fragility
Stretched canvas	$50 to $150	Bulky, priced by dimensional weight

Related questions

Will I pay customs charges on a print shipped abroad?

Usually yes, unless the seller ships duties paid. The destination country assesses import duty and tax on the declared value, and the carrier typically collects this before delivery. On a $90 framed print, charges of $10 to $30 are common. The checkout page should state which arrangement applies.

Is it cheaper to ship a poster than a framed print internationally?

Substantially. A rolled poster is light, small, and hard to damage, so fees often sit between $15 and $60. A framed print needs a rigid protective pack and costs more to move, typically $40 to $120. Some buyers abroad order unframed and frame locally.

Does Auvrique ship Else Berg prints internationally?

There are no Else Berg editions in the current catalogue, so there is nothing to ship yet. When an artist is added, the shipping terms published with the edition apply. Anyone wanting to see a specific artist stocked can ask the seller directly through its contact page.
