Important Information for U.S. Clients

 

Commissioned artwork shipped from Canada to the United States may be subject to U.S. import duties, tariffs, taxes and carrier-related processing fees.

 

These charges are not included in the commission price or shipping estimate. The applicable amount is determined by U.S. customs requirements and may vary based on the artwork’s classification, declared value, country of origin and the regulations in effect when the completed artwork is ready to ship.

 

Where required, the applicable import duty will be calculated and prepaid through Zonos or the shipping carrier. The client will receive a separate invoice for this amount, which must be paid along with the remaining commission balance and shipping costs before the artwork can be dispatched.

 

Because commissioned artwork may take several months to complete, any duty estimate provided when booking is for guidance only. The final amount cannot be confirmed until the artwork is ready for shipment.

 

Leanne Bishop Art does not establish or retain government-imposed duties or tariffs. Any applicable amounts are collected solely to cover the charges required for importing the artwork into the United States. Additional carrier-specific or customs-processing fees may also apply.

 

U.S. clients are welcome to contact info@leannebishopart.com before booking to discuss current shipping and import requirements.

Copyright & Photographer Permission

Collectors must either:

If the reference image was taken by a professional photographer, written consent must be submitted prior to approval.


Leanne Bishop does not create artwork from copyrighted images without proper authorization.

INVESTMENT & RESERVATION

By submitting this form, you acknowledge:

  • Minimum commission investment begins at $1,500 CAD (16 x 20 inches). Final investment is determined by size, subject complexity, and composition.

  • A non-refundable 50% retainer is required to reserve your place. The remaining 50% balance is due prior to shipment.
