b. Shipping

Sotheby’s provides a comprehensive shipping service for your convenience.

Your shipping quote will be available in your Sotheby's account after the sale, depending on eligibility: https://www.sothebys.com/my-account/invoices.

If you do not see any shipping offer available online please contact Post Sale Services to request a quote: ukpostsaleservices@sothebys.com.

When Sotheby's handles shipping property outside the United Kingdom, invoices may be reissued without VAT, where applicable. If you choose to make your own shipping arrangements, VAT may be refundable under specific conditions after the property has been exported.

Upon request, we will send you a shipping quotation for your purchase(s) and request confirmation of your delivery address. Your quotation may also include transit risk cover. If the quotation is accepted, we will promptly organize shipping and dispatch the property. For timed auctions, dispatch will occur no later than thirty (30) days from the closing date, unless agreed otherwise and after receiving your written agreement to the terms of the quotation, full payment of the invoice and the shipping costs, financial release.

Dispatch arrangements will be made at the buyer’s expense, and Sotheby’s may apply an administrative fee for this service. Upon delivery, it is important to unpack and inspect shipments for any discrepancies, promptly notifying the relevant party identified in your quotation or accompanying documentation.

c. Additional Information regarding Shipping and Delivery in Online Only Auctions

Sotheby's offers an online shipping costs calculator to help you estimate the expenses associated with having your purchased lot delivered to your address. This includes VAT, packing, transit insurance costs, and excludes any Artist Resale Royalty levy (ARR). Please be aware that the transit insurance price provided by the calculator does not consider the impact of ARR on the total purchase price.

The calculated shipping cost may vary from the actual amount quoted in the buyer's shipping quote, which includes any applicable ARR. Sotheby’s cannot arrange delivery to locations marked as excluded zones ("Unavailable Destinations") in the shipping costs calculator on the Online Platform.

If delivery to an Unavailable Destination is requested, you may be required to collect the Lot from Sotheby’s storage facility at Greenford or arrange delivery through a third-party carrier. It's important to note that the inability to ship to an Unavailable Destination does not warrant the cancellation of a sale.

d. Export

The export of any lot from the UK or import into any other country may be subject to one or more export or import licences being granted. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence required or delay in obtaining such licence cannot justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making payment of the total amount due.

Sotheby’s, upon request and for an administrative fee, may apply for a licence to export your lot(s) outside the UK. A UK Licence is necessary to move cultural goods valued at or above the relevant UK Licence limits from the UK.

A UK Licence will be required for most items over 50 years of age with a value of over £65,000. The are some exceptions; please refer to Arts Council England’s website for specific information:

https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/sites/default/files/download-file/UK%20OGEL%20Value%20limits.pdf

Sotheby’s recommends that you retain all import and export papers, including licences, as in certain countries you may be required to produce them to governmental authorities.

e. Artist's Resale Right (ARR)

Pursuant to applicable laws, Sotheby's collects the royalties due to artists from buyers of lots with a hammer price in excess of £1,000 at the following rates.

Portion of the hammer price (in Pounds Sterling):

Value	Royalty Rate
From £0 to £50,000	4%
From £50,000.01 to £200,000	3%
From £200,000.01 to £350,000	1%
From £350,000.01 to £500,000	0.5%
Exceeding £500,000	0.25%

The ARR payable is the aggregate of the amount payable under the above band rates, subject to a maximum royalty payable of £12,500 for any single lot each time it is sold. The maximum royalty payable of £12,500 applies to works sold for £2 million and above.

Calculation of the ARR is based on the Pounds Sterling/ Euro exchange rate quoted on the date of the sale by the European Central Bank.

For example, the royalty payable for an artwork sold for £200,000 would be equal to £6,500, calculated as follows:

Band 1: 0 to £50,000 at 4%, equal to £2,000

Band 2: £50,001 to £200,000 at 3%, equal to £4,500

Total ARR due is therefore equal to £6,500

f. Endangered Species

Items in the catalog featuring endangered or protected plant or animal materials are designated with the symbol ◉. Examples include elephant ivory, crocodile, select coral types, tortoiseshell, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, and Brazilian rosewood.

Such items may be subject to import restrictions in certain countries or necessitate licenses and certificates for export from some and import into others. The possession of an export license or certificate does not guarantee obtaining its counterpart elsewhere.

Buyers must ascertain and adhere to all applicable regulatory requirements regarding the import and export of such items before bidding, securing all necessary licenses and certificates at their expense.

Inability to export or import these items, or their seizure by a government agency, does not justify delaying payment or canceling a sale.

g. Elephant Ivory

Lots made of, or incorporating elephant ivory (regardless of percentage, age or value) are marked with the symbol ◉ in the catalogue. There are significant additional restrictions on the movement of elephant ivory, amounting for instance to a total ban on the import of African elephant ivory into the United States, an almost total ban on the import into and export from the European Union and specific registration requirements in the UK. Other jurisdictions, such as Hong Kong, also have restrictions in place. It is the buyer’s responsibility to check all the applicable regulatory and licensing requirements relating to the import and export of a lot containing elephant ivory, obtain any required licenses and certificates and arrange any testing, such as the ones required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for import into the US, at their own cost. A buyer’s inability to export or import these lots, or a seizure by a government agency, cannot justify a delay in payment or the cancellation of a sale.

h. Economic Sanctions

2. WINES & SPIRITS

a. Wines and Spirits Charges Relating to Wines and Spirits in Bond

Please note that there may be an administration charge made by the warehouse for processing export paperwork for wines and spirits being exported under bond. Any such charge is the sole responsibility of the buyer and is a matter between the warehouse and the buyer or their agent

b. Release of Lots

Authority for the release of lots to the buyer will be a Release Order signed by Sotheby’s which will be issued only after full payment has been received and appropriate identification has been provided. Supply of a Release Order constitutes delivery by Sotheby’s.

c. Delivery

Standard price shipping is available for deliveries within the United Kingdom (excluding Ireland and Scotland). Prices are quoted per case of wine or spirits; please note that a single bottle of wine or spirit will be considered as a full case. Deliveries will be charged as follows:

to an address in London: £35 for the first 10 cases, plus £10 for any additional case, plus VAT and Sotheby’s Transit Carecover; and
to a UK address outside of London (excluding Ireland and Scotland): £45 for the first 10 cases, plus £10 for any additional case, plus VAT and Sotheby’s Transit Care cover.

Price on application quotes are available for all other UK addresses.

Clients may accept a quote by including the delivery charge alongside payment of their wines and spirits invoice.

A lot can only be delivered to one address (it is not possible to split a lot for delivery to more than one address).

Clients (or their agents) must examine all purchases in the presence of the carrier on arrival.

d. Non-arrival, Loss, Breakage and Shortage on Collection or Delivery

In the event of non-arrival of any purchased property, you must inform Sotheby’s in writing within 30 days of the date on the Release Note unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing. In the event of loss, breakage or shortage in transit, where Sotheby’s has arranged shipment, you must notify Sotheby’s and the carrier in writing as soon as possible but in any event no later than 30 days from delivery of the property to you.

Collected lots must be examined in the presence of a representative of the warehouse on collection. In the event of loss, breakage or shortage, you must immediately notify the warehouse and contact Sotheby’s in writing within three business days from delivery of the lot to you.

e. Deliveries Overseas

Sotheby’s cannot arrange or take responsibility for shipments to non-UK buyers, but will be pleased to introduce them to a forwarding agent. Where it is necessary to have a license to import wines or spirits, the buyer shall be solely responsible for obtaining such license. All agents/shippers, collecting wines and spirits on behalf of buyers for non-UK shipments, must examine consignments in the presence of staff of the warehouse from which wines and spirits are collected. Sotheby’s will not refund any shipping charges under any circumstances.

f. Storage

Sotheby’s will provide storage free of charge (either on their own premises or elsewhere) for purchased lots for thirty days from the date of sale. If by that date collection has not taken place or Sotheby’s has not received full payment together with valid delivery instructions, storage will be charged at the rate of £2.00 per case or part case per week. No lot will be released until all outstanding charges have been paid. Long term, temperature and humidity-controlled storage for your wines and spirits can be arranged through Sotheby’s Wines and Storage. Please contact winestorage@sothebys.com for more information.

g. Release and Storage of Casks

The cask lots available for purchase are currently stored in bond at specified locations as detailed in the cataloguing notes corresponding to each lot.

Following the sale, buyers of cask lots must directly liaise with the distillery/warehouse where the cask is stored to arrange for its transfer to a private bond account. Establishing a new bond account involves confirming whether the buyer qualifies as a "Revenue Trader," as per the guidelines provided on www.gov.uk.

Buyers meeting the criteria for Revenue Trader status in the UK must register with HMRC and provide the distillery/warehouse with HMRC approval to own casks Under Bond. Those in the UK who are not Revenue Traders, such as private individuals or companies holding whisky for non-commercial purposes, may open a bond account without HMRC approval.

For non-UK buyers meeting the Revenue Trader criteria, appointing a UK-based Duty Representative approved by HMRC is necessary. Sotheby’s can serve as the Duty Representative for non-UK Revenue Traders. Non-UK buyers who are not Revenue Traders do not need HMRC registration or a Duty Representative to open a bond account.

UK-based Revenue Traders without WOWGR status granted by HMRC should refrain from bidding on cask lots as they are not legally permitted to own them.

Liability for loss and damage on casks transfers to the buyer upon the fall of the hammer at auction. For further clarification on these requirements, please contact Sotheby’s Wine & Spirits department.

b. Shipping

Sotheby’s provides a comprehensive shipping service for your convenience.

Your shipping quote will be available in your Sotheby's account after the sale, depending on eligibility: https://www.sothebys.com/my-account/invoices.

If you do not see any shipping offer available online please contact Post Sale Services to request a quote: FRpostsaleservices@sothebys.com.

Upon contact, we will provide a shipping quotation and confirm the delivery address. The quotation may include transit risk cover. Once accepted, we will arrange shipping and dispatch the property promptly, typically within thirty (30) days from the closing date of timed auctions, barring exceptional circumstances. This process requires written agreement to the quotation terms, full payment of the invoice and shipping costs, financial release of the property, and any necessary export licenses or certificates. Shipping expenses are borne by the buyer, and an administrative fee may apply. Please note that final packing and shipping costs may differ from the initial quote, but this does not affect the buyer's obligation to complete the purchase and cover all expenses. It is essential to inspect shipments upon delivery and report any discrepancies immediately to the designated party. Should the buyer choose to engage a third party for packing or shipping, Sotheby’s bears no liability for their actions or omissions.

c. Export

Exporting or importing goods from France or other countries may require obtaining one or more export or import licenses. It is the buyer's responsibility to secure any necessary licenses. Please note that purchased items must be paid for immediately after the sale. Failure to obtain required licenses or delays in the process do not justify canceling the sale or delaying payment.

Once export formalities are completed, sold items will be delivered to the buyer or shipped to the buyer's designated location at their expense, as per their written instructions.

For exporting cultural goods from the EU, including those subject to Regulation (EC) No 116/2009, an EU License is required. Sotheby’s can assist in obtaining a "French Passport" for exporting items from France to other EU member states. A French Passport is also necessary for moving cultural goods above a certain value within the EU.

In order to export cultural goods valued at or above the designated French Passport threshold but below the EU Licence threshold outside the European Union, it may be imperative to possess a French Passport.

The delineation below outlines specific categories and the corresponding thresholds necessitating either an EU licence or a French Passport:

Cat	Categories	Passport Threshold	Licence Threshold
1A	National antiquities and archaeological objects directly from excavations over 100 years old	0 €	0 €

Please be advised that according to French regulation n°2004-709 dated July 16, 2004, amending French regulation n°93-124 dated January 29, 1993, there are specific provisions regarding the delivery of the French passport. These provisions outline different thresholds depending on whether the goods are intended to be sent outside or inside the European Union.

Furthermore, when applying for a certificate of free circulation for property, the issuing authority reserves the right to express its intention to acquire the property within the parameters set by law.

Sotheby’s advises you to retain all import and export documentation, including licenses, as certain countries may require you to present them to governmental authorities.

d. Artist's Resale Right (ARR)

Pursuant to applicable laws, Sotheby's collects the royalties due to artists for lots with a hammer price in excess of 750 Euros at the following rates:

Portion of the hammer price (in Euros):

Value	Royalty Rate
From 0 to 50,000€	4%
From 50,000.01 to 200,000€	3%
From 200,000.01 to 350,000€	1%
From 350,000.01 to 500,000€	0.5%
Exceeding 500,000€	0.25%

The Artist's Resale Right payable is the aggregate of the amount payable under the above rate bands, subject to a maximum royalty payable of 12,500 Euros for any single lot each time it is sold. The maximum royalty payable of 12,500 Euros applies to works sold for 2 million Euros and above.

For example, the royalty payable for an artwork sold for 200,000 Euros would be equal to 6,500 Euros, calculated as follows:

Band 1: 0 to 50,000 Euros at 4%, equal to 2,000 Euros

Band 2: 50,001 Euros to 200,000 Euros at 3%, equal to 4,500 Euros

Total ARR due is therefore equal to 6,500 Euros

e. Endangered Species

Inability to export or import these items, or their seizure by a government agency, does not justify delaying payment or canceling a sale.

f. Elephant Ivory

g. Economic Sanctions

The US, UK, and EU have economic and trade sanctions against specific foreign countries, groups, and organizations. This means they restrict certain items from being imported into their territories from countries like Burma, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Russia, and Belarus. If a buyer faces difficulties importing items due to these restrictions, it doesn't justify canceling the sale or delaying payment. If unsure whether an item is subject to these restrictions, check with the specialist department.

For any in-person collections at any of our vendor’s premises, you can book your appointment directly online through your Sotheby’s check out flow: https://www.sothebys.com/my-account/invoices.

If you do not see the booking option online please alert Post Sale Services of your proposed collection date: hkpostsaleservices@sothebys.com

Late collection fee will be levied on uncollected lots. Please refer to Condition 10 (Collection and Delivery of Purchases) of the Condition of Business for Buyers.

It is Sotheby’s policy to request proof of identity on collection of a lot. Lots will be released to you or your authorized representative after Sotheby’s has received full and final payment and upon presentation of appropriate government issued photo identification. Collection can be made with at least two business day’s notice, from Monday to Friday 11:00am - 6pm, except public holidays.

b. Shipping

Sotheby’s offers shipping service. Except if otherwise indicated in this Guide for Buyers, Sotheby’s can advise buyers on exporting and shipping property, and arranging delivery. Upon request, we will send you a quotation for shipping your purchase(s). Transit risk insurance may also be included in your quotation. If the quotation is accepted, we will arrange the shipping for you and will dispatch the property as soon as possible after receiving your written agreement to the terms of the quotation, any lien or security on release of the property has been released, and receipt of any export license or certificates that may be required. Shipment will be arranged at the buyer’s expense.

Sotheby’s may charge an administrative fee for such arrangement. Certain countries may impose tax and fees on the importation of your property, e.g. sales tax, import tax, customs duty and clearance fees.

c. Export

The export of any lot from Hong Kong or import into any other country may be subject to one or more export or import licenses being granted. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license required or delay in obtaining such license cannot justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making payment of the total amount due. Sotheby’s, upon request and for an administrative fee, may apply for a license to export your lot(s) outside Hong Kong.

Sotheby’s suggests that buyers check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation (please refer to Condition 3 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (The Lots)). Please note that Sotheby's is not able to assist buyers with the shipment of any lots containing ivory and/or other restricted materials into the US, the UK and the EU.

Export

The export of any lot from Switzerland or import into any other country may be subject to one or more export or import licenses being granted. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license required or delay in obtaining such license cannot justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making payment of the total amount due.

Endangered Species

Lots made of, or incorporating (regardless of percentage, age or value) plant or animal materials that are endangered or protected are marked with the symbol ◉ in the catalogue. These include for instance: elephant ivory (please see also the important additional notice below), crocodile, some types of coral, tortoiseshell, whalebone, rhinoceros horn and Brazilian rosewood. These lots cannot be imported into certain countries, or may require licenses and certificates issued by the relevant agencies to be exported from some countries and additional licenses and certificates to be imported into others. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the buyer’s responsibility to check all the applicable regulatory and licensing requirements relating to the import and export of a lot containing endangered species prior to placing a bid, and obtain all necessary licenses and certificates at their own cost. A buyer’s inability to export or import these lots, or a seizure by a government agency, cannot justify a delay in payment or the cancellation of a sale.

All agents/shippers, collecting wines and spirits on behalf of buyers for non- Swiss shipments, must examine consignments in the presence of staff of the warehouse from which wines and spirits are collected. Sotheby’s will not refund any shipping charges under any circumstances.

Additional Information regarding Shipping and Delivery in Timed Auctions

The final hammer price influences the exact cost of shipping. All purchases from this sale are shipped using a priority service; packing charges (including any applicable VAT, Sales Tax) are charged at a flat rate of CHF 35.

Please note that Sotheby’s is unable to arrange delivery to those locations which are specified as excluded zones in the shipping costs calculator which is available on the Online Platform (each an “Unavailable Destination”). In the event that you request delivery of a Lot to an Unavailable Destination, Sotheby’s reserves the right to require you to collect the Lot from the Sotheby’s premises at Talstrasse 83, Zurich CH-8021, Switzerland or to arrange delivery of the lot by a third party carrier. The inability to ship to an Unavailable Destination will not justify the cancellation of a sale.

Export

Sotheby’s recommends that you retain all import and export papers, including licenses, as in certain countries you may be required to produce them to governmental authorities.

Endangered Species

Sotheby’s suggests that buyers check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. Please note that Sotheby’s is not able to assist buyers with the shipment of any lots containing ivory and/or other restricted materials into the US, the UK and the EU. A buyer’s inability to export or import these lots cannot justify a delay in payment or a sale’s cancellation.

1. COLLECTION & STORAGE OF LOTS

After the auction, property will be kept at either Sotheby’s premises at One Cuscaden Road or at the premises of Helu-Trans (S) Pte Ltd. Please contact Post Sale Services to arrange for collection at either location. Property that is not collected within one month of the date of the auction will incur storage charge at the following rate:

Chinese Works of Art, Chinese Modern Paintings, Chinese Classical Paintings, Jewellery, Watches, Handbags and Sneakers: SG$190 per lot per month.
Contemporary Art and Modern Art: SG$380 per lot per month.

It is Sotheby’s policy to request proof of identity on collection of a lot. Lots will be released to you or your authorised representative after Sotheby’s has received full and final payment and upon presentation of appropriate government issued photo identification. Collection can be made with at least one business day’s notice, from Monday to Friday 9:30am - 6pm, except public holidays.

Removal, storage and handling charges may be levied on uncollected lots. Please refer to Condition 10 (Collection and Delivery of Purchases) of the Condition of Business for Buyers.

Shipping

Sotheby’s offers shipping service. Except if otherwise indicated in this Buying at Auction Guide, Sotheby’s can advise buyers on exporting and shipping property, and arranging delivery.

Upon request, we will send you a quotation for shipping your purchase(s). Transit risk insurance may also be included in your quotation. If the quotation is accepted, we will arrange the shipping for you and will despatch the property as soon as possible after receiving your written agreement to the terms of the quotation, any lien or security on release of the property has been released, and receipt of any export licence or certificates that may be required. Shipment will be arranged at the buyer’s expense. Sotheby’s may charge an administrative fee for such arrangement.

Certain countries may impose tax and fees on the importation of your property, e.g. sales tax, import tax, customs duty and clearance fees.

Export

The export of any lot from Singapore or import into any other country may be subject to one or more export or import licences being granted. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence required or delay in obtaining such licence cannot justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making payment of the total amount due. Sotheby’s, upon request and for an administrative fee, may apply for a licence to export your lot(s) outside Singapore. Sotheby’s 7 recommends that you retain all import and export papers, including licences, as in certain countries you may be required to produce them to governmental authorities.

Endangered Species

Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, etc., irrespective of age or value, may require a licence or certificate prior to exportation and require additional licences or certificates upon importation to any country outside Singapore. Please note that the ability to obtain an export licence or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import licence or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is illegal to import African elephant ivory into the United States and there are other restrictions on the importation of ivory into the US under certain US regulations which are designed to protect wildlife conservation and there are significant restrictions amounting to an almost total ban on the import and export of any elephant ivory into the UK and the EU. Sotheby’s suggests that buyers check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licences and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation (please refer to Condition 3 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (The Lots)).

Please note that Sotheby's is not able to assist buyers with the shipment of any lots containing ivory and/or other restricted materials into the US, the UK and the EU. A buyer's inability to export or import these lots cannot justify a delay in payment or a sale's cancellation.
