New store
Refund is highly likely for most new stores but can take time in some cases

This store has recently been added to our system. We've never worked with them before so we don't know whether they'll refund your VAT on first request.

Most new stores are familiar with VAT and export laws, and are more than happy to cooperate in a timely manner.

Some new stores might take a bit more time to process your claim.


Non-cooperative store
Refund will take some time

These stores have indicated they don’t want to refund VAT or that they only refund VAT via a specific route, and we might need to take legal action to retrieve it.
