Yes — VAT refunds may be possible, especially for Premium and Business Members.
However, some conditions apply, and the process depends on how and where you purchased the goods.
Only the seller (merchant) can refund the VAT — myGermany cannot do this directly, but we can support you with the required documents.
For items over €1,000, we automatically prepare a customs declaration (MRN) when shipping outside the EU
For items under €1,000, a customs declaration is not generated by default (but we can provide a document afterward if needed)
If you need documentation after the item was shipped, we can issue a "Bescheinigung für Umsatzsteuerzwecke" for a €20.00 fee.
These documents can only be provided after delivery to your non-EU destination country.
📌 Important: VAT refunds are voluntary — the seller may decline, even with export proof.
If you use our Concierge Service, we buy the item for you without VAT (net price).
We charge a 10% Concierge fee
We declare the exact value we paid (you can’t adjust customs values)
Simply mention in the form that you’re requesting a VAT-free purchase
