It is the buyer’s responsibility to check prior to his purchase whether the property is subject to customs formalities for export or import to the chosen destination.
A refusal or a delay of an authorization necessary for the export or the import could not justify a delay of payment of the total sale price including commission, expenses, rights and applicable taxes, nor any cancellation or sale resolution by the successful bidder.
If a certificate of free circulation has been issued or if an application is in progress, this will be specified when the lot is presented for auction.
No tax-free invoice can be established without official proof of export.

For an exit from the European Union, a CITES re-export certificate will be required, which is the responsibility of the future buyer. The issuance of such a document is not automatic.

Absentee and phone bids
Auctioneers and experts execute, free of charge, absentee and phone bids, for those who cannot attend the sale.
Anyone wishing to set up a phone bid will need to send a request by email, attaching a copy of his ID and bank details, at the latest the day before the sale.
Experience reveals that communications are not always possible due to technical problem or lack of reception, therefore a phone bid request assumes that THE BUYER AGREES TO BID TO THE LOW ESTIMATE PLUS ONE MORE BID in case the connection is lost for any reason.
Drouot Estimations cannot be responsible for failing to execute a bid.
