<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 6959815, member: 4654&quot;]Yes it&#039;s not clear at all and the ambiguity makes me think they will have to publish more detail on exactly what the law is saying. I have a 1810-1820 surgical instrument set by Millikin all with I**ry handles maybe worth £400-500 yes I could apply for registration but if it fails (IMO very historic) I&#039;m not only out of pocket for the original item but I&#039;m also down the £250 registration fee and are each item in the set subject to registration or is the whole set classed as one? I have around 9 things that I can no longer sell until I get them registered, 7 out of the 9 will not take an extra £250 and still be economically viable despite them falling into their exemption criteria. These antiques include 4 Cantonese puzzles from 1810&#039;s and some Indian carved tourist items from the 1880&#039;s, I have 3 table boxes, 2 Vizagapatam and 1 solid Iv*ry box with a miniature set into the top all clearly meeting their exemptions but who is going to take the extra expense, me or the buyer? I&#039;m just glad I never bought items solely because of the material they were made from and I&#039;m very glad they didn&#039;t ban everything with Iv*ry in as instead of 9 items it would be 70+.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
