Export


Buyers should always check whether an export licence

necessary export licence applications on request.


However, Osenat cannot ensure that a licence will be obtained. Local


laws may prohibit of some property and/or may prohibit 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 which a French «certificat pour un


bien culturel» (also known as «passport») may be required so that the


lot can leave the French territory; the thresholds indicated in brakets is


the one required for an export licence application outside the EU, when


the latter differs from the national threshold.
