IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS AND BUYERS
CONDITION OF BUSINESS?
All lots are offered subject to Art Europe Auctions B.V. Conditions of Business which are printed in the catalogue.
BUYERS PREMIUM & VAT?A buyer's premium of 24,2% is applicable to all lots in this sale. The buyer's premium is including VAT (currently 21%). Lots are normally offered for sale under the auctioneer's Margin Scheme.?This means that VAT is charged only over the buyer's premium. Lots which are marked with a VAT Symbol (V) indicate that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (21%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer's premium. Lots which are marked with a double VAT symbol (VV) indicate that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union. VAT charges on these lots always include the hammer price as well as the buyer's premium.
ENDANGERED & PROTECTED SPECIES
?(i) Endangered and protected species Lot incorporates material from endangered species which could result in export restrictions. See the Conditions of Business for buyers (6. Import, export and copyright restrictions).
?(ii) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~ in the catalogue. This material includes, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood. You should check the relevant customs laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to import the lot into another country. Several countries refuse to allow you to import property containing these materials, and some other countries require a licence from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. In some cases, the lot can only be shipped with an independent scientific confirmation of species and/or age, and you will need to obtain these at your own cost.
(iii) Lots containing Ivory or materials resembling ivory. If a lot contains elephant ivory, or any other wildlife material that could be confused with elephant ivory (for example, mammoth ivory, walrus ivory, helmeted hornbill ivory) you may be prevented from exporting the lot from the US or shipping it between US States without first confirming its species by way of a rigorous scientific test acceptable to the applicable Fish and Wildlife authorities. You will buy that lot at your own risk and be responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the USA or between US States at your own cost. We will not be obliged to cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported or shipped between US States, or it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to interstate shipping, export or import of property containing such protected or regulated material.
