Art San Gallery ensures that original artworks are shipped under Harmonized Tariff Codes 9701 (paintings, drawings, pastels) and 9703 (sculptures). Some countries do not charge import duties or VAT on these items, allowing for straightforward customs clearance without additional fees. Others may apply a reduced VAT rate for original artworks. Your purchase will be correctly classified to support a smooth delivery process.

Depending on the artwork, your order may be shipped either from France or from our gallery in Japan. For customers in the European Union (EU), shipments from France generally follow standard intra-European trade rules and may involve fewer customs formalities. Shipments from Japan, however, are treated as imports and may be subject to customs duties and VAT according to your local regulations.
To help you plan your order with confidence, the shipping origin is indicated on each product page.

Please note that additional customs duties and local taxes may still apply to international orders, depending on your country's regulations. These charges are beyond our control and are assessed directly by your local customs office. Since customs policies vary significantly from country to country, we recommend checking with your local customs authorities to confirm any applicable duties or taxes for artworks shipped under Tariff Codes 9701 and 9703.

Haruka Miyamoto is a London-based artist and costume designer whose work has graced major films like Disney’s Cinderella and Mary Poppins Returns. Born near Hiroshima, she infuses her art with the Japanese philosophy of Mottainai—a deep respect for the intrinsic value of materials. Her "Extinct Animals" series uses leather, silk, and traditional ink to "breathe life" back into lost species. By combining her high-fashion textile background with a soul-felt connection to nature, she creates delicate yet haunting forms that honor the memory of the living world.
