Important Information for Buyers
All lots are offered subject to Morton & Eden Ltd.'s Conditions of Business and to reserves.
Estimates are published as a guide only and are subject to review. The actual hammer price of a lot may well be higher or lower than the range of figures given and there are no fixed "starting prices".
A Buyer's Premium of 15% is applicable to all lots in this sale. Excepting lots sold under Temporary Import rules which are marked with the symbol (see below), the Buyer's Premium is subject to VAT at the standard rate (currently 17?%). Unless otherwise indicated, lots are offered for sale under the auctioneer's margin scheme and VAT on the Buyer's Premium is payable by all buyers.
Lots marked with this symbol have been imported from outside the European Union (EU) to be sold at auction under Temporary Import Rules. When released to buyers within the EU, including the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay import VAT at the rate of 5% on the hammer price in addition to the normal 17.5% on the Buyer's Premium. Buyers outside the EU will not be required to pay temporary import VAT provided that satisfactory documentary evidence of exportation is obtained. Please note that this information has been updated to reflect changes in UK legislation introduced on 1 September 2006.
Morton & Eden Ltd. will be pleased to execute bids on behalf of those clients unable to attend the sale in person, subject to our Conditions of Business. All bids must be submitted in good time in writing and lots will always be purchased as cheaply as possible (depending on any other bids received, reserves and competition in the saleroom). This service is offered free of charge.
Morton & Eden Ltd. can supply quotations for the shipping of purchases, including transit insurance and VAT refund administration fees, and will assist in the application for any export licences which may be required. Buyers are reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with UK export regulations and with any local import requirements.
