A refund of German VAT is only possible if you personally export the goods to Switzerland. If the goods are shipped directly to Switzerland, a refund is not possible.
- Direct Delivery to Switzerland
- For orders up to a value of 1,000 euros (excluding Freight Carrier items, such as large products like refrigerators), we can deliver directly to Switzerland. In this case, VAT will not be charged.
- Important: No single item may have a value of more than 1,000 euros (internal policy).
- Personal Export by the Customer
If you would like to have the German VAT refunded, please follow these steps:
- When placing your order, provide a Swiss Billing Address and a German Delivery Address.
- Personally take the goods across the border into Switzerland.
- Have the import confirmed by Swiss customs on the original invoice.
- Send the invoice stamped by customs back to us.
We will refund the German VAT you paid to your German bank account as quickly as possible.
