Guide to Buying

Although buying art on our website can be just a few clicks away, here are some guidelines you need to consider before processing your order.

Stone Sculptures

Because our stone sculptures are unique and once-off pieces, availability can sometimes be an issue that needs to be confirmed before an order is processed. Simply drop us a word stating the title of the piece you are interested in and we will promptly respond to confirm availability or otherwise. Should the piece be available, you can proceed with the purchase. We offer free shipping to your nearest international airport. Clearing and delivery to your address can be arranged with our partners at Global Containers if you prefer not to collect it yourself.

Import Duties & VAT Taxes

Most countries do not charge import duty on original handmade works of art. Fortunately, all our artworks fall under this category. However a few countries do charge a percentage of the value of the artwork or additional sales taxes as well. Please check this Harmonised System commodity codes, import duty & taxes for Art to see if your country charges any import duties and taxes on original art. The actual amount may depend upon which country we are shipping from, which you can see under the detail of the product. Note that you are solely responsible for any duties/taxes that are due upon delivery. At this time Arts of Africa  is not VAT-registered so there will be no VAT to ship to the UK.
