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 licence or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import licence 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 licences and certificates at their own cost.
