Traveling the world

All instruments are covered by our insurance worldwide. This also includes theft. 

If you are planning to go to a country outside of the EU, please get in contact with us, so we can provide proof of ownership for the instrument(s) you take with you. 

Attention: the person borrowing an instrument is responsible for taking care of all customs regulations. Please get in contact with the Austrian custom office (Zollamt) prior to your trip. Also take into consideration, that some instruments or parts of instruments could be made of material that affects the regulation of the "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora" ("CITES"), f.e. ivory, ebony.

 

Other States

It is possible to extend the instrument´s insurance to a worldwide insurance. In this case, it is necessary to report the MIS before transport. The fees for the insurance extension must be paid by the borrower himself/herself.

Please consider bringing a printed form, which you may receive in the office of the MIS, with you while you are travelling.

  • Departure at the airport:

Request a form (INF 3) at customs. This form declares that the instrument is Austrian ware. You may need it when travelling back.

  • When entering/ leaving countries that aren’t members of the EU:

Keep ready the form of the KUG which you get in the office of the MIS before your journey. Keep the KUG form, which you may receive in the office of the MIS handy with you before your journey. This form must contain the duration of your stay, the estimated value of the instrument, and a stamp of the MIS.
