French term or phrase: capsules congé de garantie
" que M. Jean Y… faisait valoir dans ses conclusions que les actes de commercialisation invoqués par M. Thierry X… n’auraient pu être
valablement retenus, dès lors qu’il s’agissait de vins que s’ils étaient accompagnés d’actes de cautionnement et de l’utilisation de capsules congé de garantie, ce qui n’était pas établi ; "

Thanks in advance.

"duty paid" caps by way of guarantee
Explanation:
"Ever wondered about those coloured-coded tops on the foils, or capsules, of French wines bought in France? Known officially as capsules représentatives des droits (CRD) or capsules-congés, they prove that tax has been paid on the wine and that it may be sold commercially. French wines bought outside the hexagon don't usually have these capsule tops because the duty is not paid within France. (The capsule features Marianne, the historic symbol of France, also used on some French stamps and coins.)"

I'm not sure what is being guaranteed, or what the "actes de cautionnement" are for, but that is presumably apparent from the wider context, which you haven't given.
