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

of works or art, together with the value thresholds above for

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

territory; the thresholds indicated in brakets is the one required
