Exceptions to the mandatory minimum viewing period of auctioned goods in the auctioneer industry Admission
The auctioneer must provide an opportunity to inspect the auctioneer for a period of at least 2 hours. The competent authority may allow exceptions if the offering persons are otherwise given sufficient opportunity to assess the auctioned goods.
The alternative opportunity for the auctioneers to assess the auctionable goods can 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 jurisdiction the event is located.
This procedure can also be handled by a "Single Contact Person". The "Single Contact Person" is a special service offered by the municipalities and the country for service providers.
