What is VAT-Free Shopping?

VAT-Free Shopping means that customers outside the European Union (EU) are not charged Value Added Tax (VAT) on their purchases. This allows international customers to benefit from lower prices.

2. Who is eligible for VAT-Free Shopping?

Customers whose orders are shipped to addresses outside the EU are eligible for VAT-Free Shopping. During the checkout process, if you select a non-EU shipping address, the prices will automatically adjust to exclude VAT.

3. How do I see VAT-free prices on Surf-Store.com?

To view VAT-free prices, ensure your shipping address is outside the EU. Once you select a non-EU country during checkout, the prices will update to reflect the VAT exclusion.

How do companies purchase VAT-free?

• Outside the EU: Companies should provide a non-EU shipping address during checkout. The system will automatically adjust to exclude VAT.
• Within the EU: Companies need to provide a valid VAT registration number during the checkout process. Our system will verify the VAT number and adjust the pricing accordingly.

4. Will I be charged any additional fees or taxes upon delivery?

While we do not charge VAT for non-EU shipments, your order may be subject to import duties, taxes, and fees upon arrival in your country. These charges vary by country and are not included in our pricing. We recommend checking with your local customs office for more information.

5. How can I confirm that my order is VAT-free?

During the checkout process, after you enter a non-EU shipping address, you will see a breakdown of the charges. The VAT will be listed as zero, confirming that your order is VAT-free.

6. Can I receive a VAT refund if I am visiting the EU and returning home with my purchases?

Our VAT-free policy applies only to orders shipped outside the EU. If you are purchasing items to take with you while visiting the EU, you may be eligible for a VAT refund through other schemes, but these are not handled directly by us. We recommend consulting local regulations regarding VAT refunds for visitors.

7. What happens if I return my order?

Our standard return policy applies to VAT-free purchases. If you return an item, you will be refunded the amount paid at checkout, excluding any shipping fees. Import duties and taxes paid in your country are non-refundable.

8. Can I see VAT-free prices before checkout?

Currently, VAT-free prices are displayed during the checkout process once you enter a non-EU shipping address. This ensures that customers from EU countries see prices that include VAT.

9. Who can I contact for more information?
