Sales conditions

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. The buyer’s premium is 25% + VAT

amounting to 30% (all taxes included) . Books (25% + VAT amounting

to 26,375%). The buyers via the live platforms will pay, in addition to

the bids and the buyers' fees an additional commission which will

be entirely paid back to the platforms (see paragraph: Auctions via

Drouot Digital or other live platforms).

NB :

+ Auction by order of the court further to a prescription of the

court, buyers fees 14,28% VTA included.

° Lots on which the auction house or its partners have a financial

interest

* Lots which have been temporarily imported and are subject

to a buyer’s fee of 5.5% (20% for jewelry, motorcars, wines and

spirits and multiples – F1 helmet) in addition to the hammer

price and sale fees.

~ This lot contains plant species or animal materials from

endangered species. 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.

possible restorations or accidents once the auction has been

pronounced.
