CUSTOMER DUE DILIGENCE CHECKS:
In order to comply with current Money Laundering Regulations, it is our policy to conduct appropriate Know Your Client checks on any buyers who transact at the threshold of £8,000 or more. Buyers will be required to provide the following information:

Upon receipt of full payment, Dreweatts will issue the instruction to a customs broker and advise the buyer when the lot(s) are released for collection. Please note, it can take a few days to obtain the clearance from HMRC.
Overseas buyers:

EXPORT OF ITEMS:

It is the buyer's responsibility to obtain all permits and licences necessary to export lots lawfully from the UK and import into their country. We will not be able to cancel your purchase if your lot may not be exported, imported or it is seized for any reason by a government authority. We are happy to assist with the submission of necessary applications on behalf of our buyers, but we will charge for this service only to cover the costs of our time.
