Chinese furniture-what paperwork should I request

Posted by longsheng (1082 days ago)

I want to order some replicas of Chinese antique furniture. I would like to be able to get them out of China after some time (when I leave). Do you know what papers/ seals, etc I should request from the workshop that has produced the furniture to ensure that I can get the pieces out of the country without problems?

As long as you have a fapiao should not be an issue as these are replicas - its the export of genuine antiques that is restricted.

I used Crown to ship some pieces to a friend in HK and did not have a problem.

Ironically, depending where you are shipping them to, you may have more of a problem getting them into the destination country.
