Sale of ivory
For the sale of ivory, the auction house applies the following rules:
- The auction house expressly opposes the sale of illegal ivory objects and makes every effort to prevent illegal trade in ivory. All objects offered for sale are demonstrably from the period before March 3, 1947 and are subject to the permission for sale of European legislation.
- All ivory objects offered for sale by the auction house come with an expert statement and EU certificate for trade within the European Union.
- Ivory is subject to tracking restrictions in accordance with CITES regulations (see www.rvo.nl).
- Customers should familiarize themselves with the relevant CITES regulations before bidding.
- After purchasing an object containing ivory, the buyer is responsible for providing the necessary documentation for the sale or export of the object.
- Exports outside the European Union require extensive export permits. A buyer should be aware of this and take care of this himself.
- The auction house provides an anonymous expert report and copy of the EU certificate (AVG protection). In consultation, an expert report can be registered in the name of the buyer, at their own expense.
- Due to the fragility of the objects, shipping is at your own responsibility. The auction house may be able to advise in this regard.
