Export & VAT-free sales (0% VAT)

A) Export outside the European Union (Non‑EU)
If the goods are shipped outside the EU, the supply may be invoiced at 0% VAT provided there is valid proof of export (customs export evidence/status).

B) Intra‑EU supply for businesses (EU B2B)
For EU companies, a 0% VAT invoice is possible if the following conditions are met:

• the buyer provides a valid VAT ID (verified via VIES);
• the goods are physically dispatched to another EU Member State;
• there is proof of transport/delivery.

C) Domestic supplies within Germany (DE)
Supplies within Germany are invoiced with 19% VAT.

To prepare a quotation quickly and apply the correct VAT treatment, please send:

• full company name and registered address;
• contact person, e-mail and phone number;
• VAT ID (for EU B2B);
• delivery address and destination country;
• preferred delivery terms (Incoterms);
• shipping method: our delivery / your carrier / pick-up.

The standard document set includes:

• Pro-Forma / Commercial Invoice
• Packing List

Additionally upon request / if required:

• Export declaration / MRN (when required)
• Certificate of Quality (COQ) (if applicable)
• other documents by agreement.

Important: VAT-free (0% VAT) invoicing is only possible with the required supporting evidence.

• For exports outside the EU, proof of export is required (depending on the shipping scenario and customs procedure).
• For EU B2B, a valid VAT ID and proof of dispatch to another EU Member State are required.

If supporting documents are missing or cannot be provided, we may be required to issue an invoice including VAT. Once proof is obtained, we can process a correction/refund within the feasible and agreed procedure.

For pick-up or collection by the buyer’s carrier, VAT-free invoicing is only possible if proof of export/transport can be provided.

If such proof cannot be ensured in advance, the shipment may be invoiced including VAT. Any subsequent correction is handled case-by-case and only with a complete set of evidence.

VAT-free on the seller’s side does not mean there are no import charges for the buyer.
Customs duties, import VAT and local fees in the destination country are typically paid by the importer/consignee (depending on Incoterms).

Send us the part numbers and your company details — we will:

• confirm whether VAT-free invoicing is possible;
• suggest the optimal delivery terms (Incoterms);
• prepare a quotation and required documents.
