Frequently Asked Questions

What types of couriers can apply?

We welcome specialist art logistics companies, fine art freight forwarders, white-glove delivery services, and general couriers with documented experience handling high-value artworks.

Do you require transit insurance?

Yes. All partner couriers must carry fine art transit insurance or be able to arrange it for each shipment. Proof of insurance coverage is required during the vetting process.

How does the API integration work for Premium partners?

Premium partners receive access to our logistics API, which pushes order details (dimensions, weight, origin, destination) directly to your system and pulls tracking updates back into the AfriArtSpace dashboard.

Can I handle international shipments?

Yes, and we actively seek couriers with international capability. You must have experience with customs documentation for cultural goods and comply with CITES regulations where applicable.
