We can help you Import Antiques

The first step in the process is to verify the age and authenticity of the antique items you wish to import. Accurate documentation, including certificates of authenticity, provenance, and any available appraisals, is crucial. Our experts can assist you in ensuring that the necessary documentation is in order to establish the historical and cultural value of the antiques.

Antiques often hold significant cultural value, and Canada has regulations in place to protect its cultural heritage. It's essential to be aware of and comply with the Cultural Property Export and Import Act. This legislation aims to safeguard important cultural property and ensure that items of national significance remain within Canada. We work closely with our clients to navigate these regulations, providing the expertise needed to meet compliance standards.

Certain antique items may be subject to restrictions or require specific permits for importation. This is especially true for items deemed to be of exceptional cultural or historical significance. Our team stays informed about the latest regulations and can advise you on whether your specific antiques fall under restricted categories. If permits are necessary, we assist in obtaining them, facilitating a smooth import process.
