Export

Buyers should always check whether an export licence

is required before exporting. It is the buyer’s sole

regulations and will submitt any necessary export licence

applications on request.

the resale of some property in the country of importation. As an

illustration only, we set out below a selection of the categories

«passport») may be required so that the lot can leave the French

territory; the thresholds indicated in brakets is the one required
