Invoicing

Payment Information

Invoices will be emailed to successful bidders within 24 hours of the auction concluding.

Payment must be made by direct bank transfer only within 48 hours of receiving your invoice, unless otherwise agreed with Australia Pacific Art Auctions (APAA) in writing.

If you have not received your invoice within 24 hours of the auction concluding, please check your junk or spam folder and contact APAA promptly.

Payment instructions and bank account details will be provided on your invoice. Purchased items will not be released or shipped until payment has cleared.

APAA may require identification or verification before accepting payment or releasing purchased items.

Late or Non-Payment

If payment is not received within the required timeframe and no alternative arrangement has been agreed with APAA, APAA reserves the right, where permitted by law, to cancel the sale and offer the lot for sale again. APAA may also restrict the buyer from participating in future auctions and pursue any other remedies available under its Auction Terms & Conditions and applicable law.

International Buyers

APAA welcomes international buyers. Buyers outside Australia are responsible for understanding and complying with all import requirements applicable to their destination country.

International buyers are responsible for all costs associated with importing their purchases, including where applicable:

  • International freight

  • Packing and crating

  • Insurance

  • Customs clearance

  • Import duties

  • GST/VAT or equivalent taxes

  • Brokerage fees

  • Quarantine or inspection charges

  • Other government, carrier or destination charges

These costs are not included in the hammer price or buyer’s premium unless expressly stated otherwise.

APAA does not guarantee that a particular item can be imported into a buyer’s country. Buyers should check all applicable import, export and cultural-property requirements before bidding.

BUYER’S PREMIUM

A 20% Buyer’s Premium will be added to the final hammer price of every lot purchased unless otherwise stated in the catalogue.

The amount payable is therefore:

Hammer Price + 20% Buyer’s Premium = Amount Payable

Shipping, insurance, customs duties, taxes, import charges and other applicable costs are additional.

Buyers should consider the Buyer’s Premium and all other applicable costs when determining their maximum bid.
