Today, Finnish customs intends to hold a press conference about the detention of art objects from the Hermitage and other museums that were moving from the European Union to Russia. The Cheka-OGPU talked with a museum worker who knows a lot about transporting art objects. Here is his story:

“There are no logisticians in museums; the documents are handled by transport companies (Khepri, Art Courier, etc.) and the exhibition department. In the exhibition department, the girls who prepare contracts send the documents to the Ministry of Culture and then take them to the customs post in St. Petersburg or Moscow, depending , where the museum is. This is when permission from the Ministry of Culture for export has been received. When a return occurs, the sending party and the transport company draw up documents.

So the transport companies “messed up”, since this route through Finland is standard, they have been transporting it in both directions for many years, no one expected that the Finns would suddenly find fault (but in vain, my experience of accompanying exhibits on a truck showed how much the Finns find fault with every comma ).
