Tax free shopping

As a traveller from a non-EU member state

As a traveller from a non-EU member state, you can shop in Germany VAT-free.

This is how tax-free shopping works:

When placing your order, please be sure to enter your place of residence in a non-EU member state as the billing address. Even if you claim tax exemption, you still pay the full purchase price including VAT. We will refund the VAT as soon as we have received the proof stamped by the customs authorities that the goods have been properly exported.

The form Export and Purchaser Certificate for VAT Purposes for Exports in Non-Commercial Travel (§ 6 para. 3a UStG) serves as proof of export. You can download this form here.

Please note: The goods must have been exported to the destination country by the end of the third month after the date of purchase from the customer. Otherwise, VAT exemption and VAT refund is not possible.

For delivery to Switzerland, Norway or the United Kingdom

Markenkoffer.de also delivers to non-EU member states. Deliveries to these countries are VAT-free. In this case, the sales tax is automatically deducted at the end of the ordering process. Important for you: When the goods are delivered, you must also pay customs duties and import tax to the delivering shipping company. For more detailed information, please contact the relevant customs authority.
