Packing

In order to minimise the risk of loss or damage in transit, we recommend the use of tailor-made, solid and re-lockable overseas packing solutions (i.e. wooden crates, flight cases, etc.). Eythos will be pleased to assist with complete door-to-door solutions, including packing and crating at origin.

We advise against the use of cardboard or one-way packaging to send any kind of fragile and delicate objects. Please also take into consideration that the weather in Korea in the summer can be very humid, so the use of additional climate protection/insulation material is recommended. All wooden packing should comply with the international ISPM requirements.

Inbound

All packages should be labeled clearly, with non-removable markings or labels. A clear numbering and marking of each package/crate and content is imperative for the identification of your goods during transit, storage, handling, and customs procedures.

Please find below the recommended format, which should be attached on two positions of each crate (front & back) or package. Please make sure that the below information is included on your labels.

The specifications of the packages must correspond to the specifications mentioned on the documents (Packing List/Invoice). 

Outbound

Eythos provides you with move-out/re-export labels during the fair. These labels capture specific post-sale instructions (i.e. sold, re-export, storage, etc.) and must be affixed to each item/package in order to clearly identify items and ensure a smooth post-sale process. Eythos does not accept any liability for artworks left on the booth without written instructions and appropriate marking.
