Maskinera is only an intermediary party and does not act as owner or Seller of Auction Items. Maskinera does not take on the role of exporter of Auction Items to other countries. Administration of change of ownership for Auction Items registered with the Swedish Transport Agency is the responsibility of the Seller.
