ONLINE → store delivers to EU address → you export via airplane, car or train /

If the online store delivers your items to an address inside the EU and you export the items yourself, via airplane, train or car:

  1. Print your invoice from the store Most online stores send your invoice via email after you have paid.

    Tip: when you pay online, you can usually fill in a delivery address and a billing address. For the billing address, use your non-EU address and insert your passport number in an address line.

    If your invoice does not show your non-EU address and passport number, we advise you to print a tax-free form for customs. This is required in some EU countries (not required in the Netherlands).

    You can download a tax-free form here: https://vatfree-public.s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/faq/idx9RoWguWmC8wvpn-Tax-free%20form.pdf
