It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that the item is properly and lawfully exported and imported. You must pay immediately even if you want to export the lot and require an export permit or license to do so. Failure to obtain all of the required permits shall not invalidate the transaction. CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. Each lot sold at Live Auction is subject to a Buyer’s Premium of 22% of the successful bid price (“hammer price”) of each lot as part of the purchase price. 2. Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) on the hammer price and buyer's premium, except for purchases directly exported from Canada. In the case where Canadian purchases are shipped out of the province of Ontario, the HST or GST is charged based on the tax status of that province or territory. 3.
