All buyers from countries outside the EEC are allowed to purchase with VAT excluded.
At the time of purchase, it is necessary to ask the retailer for the Tax Free Invoice and Tax Free Form, an official document to access the vat refund.
Upon departure, the international buyer declares the purchased goods along with the completed Tax Free form and his or her passport to a customs officer, who will stamp the form to validate the export of the purchased goods.
The international buyer can eventually recover the relevant amount from a Global Blue refund office or by sending the Tax Free form to Global Blue.
