Exceptions to the mandatory minimum inspection period of the auctioned goods in the auctioneer trade Admission
The auctioneer must be given the opportunity to visit the auction property for a period of at least 2 hours. The competent authority may allow exceptions if otherwise the offerees are given sufficient opportunity to assess the auctioned goods.
The alternative opportunity for the auctioned goods to be assessed by the bidding persons may be provided by providing a catalogue documenting the auctioned goods.
The responsibility lies with the district, the district-free city, the large independent city and the independent municipality in whose area of responsibility the event is located.
This procedure can also be carried out through a "single point of contact". The "Single Contact Person" is a special service offered by the municipalities and the country for service providers.
