We have yet to identify any shipper that can export/import ivory - of any shape or type, including marine – through U.S. Custom authorities. These authorities are presently unable to determine age or type and require DNA testing to prove it is not banned African elephant ivory. Consequently, at the present time, any shipping (after settlement of our invoice) would be entirely at the buyer’s own risk. At the very least long delays may be expected U.S. side, and in the worst instance lots could be destroyed. Charles Miller Ltd would also be unable to post to the U.S.A. any items containing ivory

Important Information
Ø PROPERTY INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED SPECIES (CITES)
An export licence issued by the Department of the Environment will be required for the export of any item made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) animal material such as ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn, rosewood and lignum vitæ etc., and this may take up to eight weeks to obtain. Clients are advised to check with the regulating body in the country of importation regarding any possible restrictions on the importation of items within this category ? some countries have an absolute ban on the importation of certain materials. For example, the U.S. generally prohibits the importation of articles containing species that it has designated endangered or threatened if those articles are less than 100 years of age.
Lots which will require CITES licences are denoted by the symbol Ø
ARTIST?S RESALE RIGHT (?DROIT DE SUITE?)
If a lot is affected by this right it will be identified with the symbol ? next to the lot number. The buyer agrees to pay to Charles Miller an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist?s collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer Price is 1,000 Euro or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euro per lot. The amount is calculated as follows:
4% 1,000-50,000
3% 50,000-200,000
1% 200,000-350,000
½% 350,000-500,000
¼% 500,000+
