Further details
Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin property. Bidders must familiarise themselves with any laws or shipping restrictions that apply to them before bidding on these lots. For example, the USA prohibits dealings in and import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (such as carpets, textiles, decorative objects, and scientific instruments) without an appropriate licence. Christie’s has a general OFAC licence which, subject to compliance with certain conditions, would enable a buyer to import certain non-carpet lots of this type into the USA. If you intend to use Christie’s licence, please contact us for further information before you bid. Please note that buyers wishing to import Persian rugs or carpets into the USA will need to apply for their own OFAC licence for this activity.
