# The exclusions

As a general rule, Article 1(1) begins by indicating that the Regulation shall apply only to the civil dimension of succession law. It does not apply to matters of revenue, customs or administrative matters (Point 10 of the Preamble to the Regulation).

In addition and more specifically, Article 1(2) lists 12 items that are excluded from the scope of application of the Regulation.

## Warning !

Vigilance is required, however, as some of these items are not the subject of total exclusions

Whatever the case, these are questions that are linked in one way or another with succession law and which will mostly be governed by national rules of conflict.
