Crating, transport, installation, storage & worldwide art freight.
White-glove handling, museum-grade crating, and international freight — built for Miami’s climate and fair season.
Fine art shipping in Miami operates under conditions
most logistics companies aren’t equipped for — a
year-round market that doesn’t pause between fair
seasons, international freight routing through
one of the busiest gateways in the Americas, and
a climate that can compromise an unprotected work
faster than most people realize.
UNION FAS is a dedicated fine art logistics company
serving galleries, collectors, institutions, interior
designers, and brand activations across Miami-Dade,
Broward, and Palm Beach — custom crating built for
Miami’s conditions, climate-controlled transport,
professional installation, and international freight
through MIA and the Port of Miami.

Clients that trust us
Fine Art Shipping Services Available in Miami
Miami’s art market doesn’t pause between fair seasons. Galleries in Wynwood and the Design District move work year-round. Collectors in Brickell and Fisher Island are acquiring constantly. Institutions throughout Miami-Dade require logistics partners who understand the difference between a piece and a package. Brand activations, hotel art programs, creative productions — the demand here is as diverse as the market itself.
And then there’s everything moving between Miami and Latin America. São Paulo, Bogotá, Mexico City, Buenos Aires. Miami is the primary US gateway for that routing — and it’s a route we know in both directions.

Museum-Grade Crating
Art Crating in Miami
Every crate is custom-built to the piece, not adapted from a standard size. Our fabricators engineer each crate to the exact dimensions, weight, and vulnerability of the work, using archival-grade materials and custom foam interiors. Miami’s climate — high humidity, heat, and salt air near the coast — makes proper crating especially critical for works in transit or temporary storage. We account for these environmental conditions in every build. Crates are photographed and documented before departure and designed for domestic, international air, or ocean freight use.
Climate-Controlled Art Transport Miami and South Florida
Secure Art Transport
The risk isn’t on the highway. It’s on the loading
dock. It’s the gap between a climate-controlled
facility and an August afternoon in Miami.
Our fleet maintains interior temperature and humidity
throughout the entire move. Air-ride suspension.
Real-time GPS. Handlers trained in fine art protocols.
We serve Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties,
and coordinate transport for Art Basel Miami Beach,
Art Wynwood, Art Miami, and Context Art Miami
throughout the fair season.
Installation Is Where Everything Either Holds Together or Doesn’t
Professional Art Installation in Miami
Our team handles mounting, leveling, lighting
coordination, and final placement for private
residences, gallery openings, hotel art programs,
brand activations, and institutional exhibitions
across Miami and Palm Beach.
We work directly with interior designers in
Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, gallery directors
in Wynwood and the Design District, and production
teams at luxury brands and creative agencies.
Installation is part of the engagement.
The job closes when the piece looks right.
International Art Shipping Through Miami (MIA) and Port of Miami
International Fine Art Freight Through MIA and Port of Miami
Miami is the primary US gateway for art moving
between North America and Latin America. Collectors
in São Paulo, Bogotá, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires
route through here. US institutions sending work
south and Latin American galleries sending work
north both clear through MIA and the Port of Miami.
We manage the complete chain in both directions —
air freight, ocean freight, customs documentation,
ATA Carnets, and temporary import
and export clearance. Direct experience with
South American and Caribbean routing. One point
of contact from domestic pickup to international
delivery.
Fine Art Storage in Miami
Climate-Controlled Art Storage — South Florida
Between fair seasons, renovation timelines, and
international shipments in transit, Miami collectors
and galleries regularly need storage that actually
maintains the conditions artworks require.
We provide climate-controlled, humidity-regulated
storage for works of any size — short-term holding
between fairs, collection storage during renovation,
long-term inventory management. Everything inventoried,
photographed on arrival, and accessible on your schedule.
For Interior Designers and Architects Working in Miami
Art and Object Logistics for Interior Projects — Miami and Palm Beach
Miami’s interior design market moves on tight timelines
in high-stakes environments. Pieces arrive from
different vendors on different schedules — some
from Europe, some from auction, some from galleries,
some still in production. Miami’s heat and humidity
mean improper receiving or storage can cause damage
before installation day even arrives.
We receive directly from your vendors, condition-check
every piece, log everything into a dedicated client portal, and deliver to the project site in a single coordinated move. Paintings,
sculptures, mirrors, antique furniture, ceramics,
oversized decorative objects — all of it tracked,
documented, and handled correctly from the moment
it arrives at our facility.
For projects in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove,
Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Brickell and Palm Beach
we work on your timeline.
