Les conditions de vente sont visibles en fin de catalogue
Nous attirons votre attention sur les lots précédés de +, °, *, #, ##, ~ pour lesquels s’appliquent des conditions particulières décrites en fin de catalogue.

Purchased lots will become available only after full payment has been made. The sale
will be conducted in Euros. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay a
buyer’s premium along with any applicable value added tax.
From 1 to 150 000 € the buyer’s premium is 25% + VAT amounting to 30% (all taxes
included). Over 150 001 €: 23% + VAT amounting to 27.6% (all taxes included).
NB :
+ Auction by order of the court further to a prescription of the court, buyers fees
14,40% VTA included.
° Lots on which the auction house or its partners have a financial interest

buyer’s fees stated earlier except for buyer out of CEE.
# An appointment is required to see the piece
~ This lot contains animal materials. Import restrictions are to be expected and
must be considered.
The legislator imposes strict rules for the commercial use of inert animal species. The
international regulations of March 3, 1973 (CITES) requires for different annexes a
correlation between the specimen and the documentation proving the origins to be
lawful. This regulation transcribed in European Community law (Annexes A/B/C) in Rule
338/97 of 9/12/1996 permits commercial use of regulated specimens (CITES) upon
presentation of documentation proving lawful origin; these documents for this variation
are as follows:
• For Annex A : C/C provided outlining the specimen’s history (for specimens of recent
date)
• For Annex B : Bird specimens are either banded or equipped with transponders,
and are accompanied by documents of licit origin. The auction’s sale record must be
conserved as it contains the complete history of every specimen.
All cases concerning specimens of recent date that are protected under the French
Environmental Code and which were born and raised in captivity are permitted by
the derogation clause AM of 14/07/2006. As such, they can be used commercially
provided traceability between the specimen and the documentation proving licit
origins. Other specimen cases dating prior to clause AM of 21/07/2015 can, due to
this fact, be used commercially. Specimens dating before 1947 included in this auction
sale benefit from clause 2M of the derogatory Rule 228/97 of 9/12/1996, permitting their
use for trade. However, exporting them outside of the EU them requires a pre-CITES
Convention agreement.
For huntable species of the European continent and elsewhere, commercial use is
allowed under certain conditions. Domesticated species (D) included in this auction
sale are free for trade. Old specimens from before the Convention (i.e. before 1975)
comply with the conditions of the AM of 23/12/2011 and, as such, are free for trade.
The other specimens in this auction sale are not subject to NR regulations and are free
for commercial use and trade. The auction record will substantiate their licit origin.
To leave the EU, with regards to the Annexes I/A, II/B et III/C, a CITES re-export
document at the expense of the acquirer will be necessary.
