Customs Status has been recordable on artworks for a while, but you couldn't search for it. It now works as a standard inventory filter, alongside filters like status, location, and artist.
đ How to filter
Go to Inventory.
Open the filters panel.
Select Customs Status and choose the value you want.
Apply the filter.
Combine it with other filters â location, artist, list â to narrow further, and save the result as a list if it's a view you'll need again.
đĄ Ways registrars use it
Pull everything currently in a temporary import status ahead of a deadline.
Check which works at a given location still need customs entries recorded.
Build a working list for a shipment or a fair return.
