Antiques Transport – How to Move Sensitive Items in Turkey?

Moving antiques and valuables is different from standard transport. Special packaging, securing and sometimes dedicated vehicles are needed against risks such as vibration, impact and humidity.

What to Consider in Antiques Transport

• Inventory and photos: List each item before the move and photograph if possible; important for comparison and insurance in case of damage.
• Packaging: Use corner protectors, foam, special boxes and “fragile” labels; double boxing is recommended for glass and ceramics.
• Insurance: In Turkey, transport insurance often covers limited amounts; extra (value-based) insurance for antiques is advisable.

Legal and Practical Side in Turkey

• Customs and Culture Ministry rules may apply to moving cultural property; consulting for antiques and art is useful.
• The transport contract should state “antiques / fragile cargo” and the handover report should note condition (damaged or intact).
