Shipping fragile wood carvings internationally requires meticulous planning to prevent damage. Start by selecting high-quality packing materials such as acid-free tissue paper, bubble wrap, and rigid foam. Wrap the sculpture carefully, ensuring no exposed edges, and use custom-cut foam inserts for added protection.

For extra security, place the wrapped carving inside a sturdy wooden crate with shock-absorbing padding. Label the package with "Fragile" and "This Side Up" in multiple languages. Choose a reliable courier with experience in handling delicate art and opt for climate-controlled shipping if necessary.

Insurance is essential—verify coverage for international transit and potential delays. Document the carving’s condition with photos before packing. Following these steps ensures your wood carvings arrive safely, preserving their beauty and value.
