Tax Refunds when shopping in the EU - VAT refunds

Did you have to declare and pay any amount when you got back to the US?

Normally they say to get the stamp at your last EU point of departure, but do you know if you have a super short layover also in the EU, can you get it at the first airport?

So when arriving to the US for customs, don’t you need to declare them and thus get taxed for imported goods? How does that work?

Is the tax desk prior to checking baggage? I have products over the 3.4 oz requirement. I would normally put in checked bag

Is there a minimum amount you need to qualify for vat? Wondering if general souvenirs would be eligible like a few magnets maybe a mug given they would be less than 5 euro

I bought a watch from a vintage shop. I got the receipt with the bar code and all that but I didn’t get an envelope or box with my watch we walked out wearing it, will I be fine with just this long receipt at customs

Hi, I want to ask, when making a transfer, for example a transfer from a bank in the US to a foreign country such as Indonesia, are we required to input the VAT code, IFM code and TAX code? I was asked to input this transaction code

If you purchased the same item at the airport duty free shops which would be cheaper in the end?

If you do the tax refund can you still keep the merchandise?

[ricardocervantes]

Do i have to present the items at the airport?

[himazafar]

On grocery and resturant bills, we can also claim our taxes?

Hi. I missed my flight in Germany. Am I allowed to claim my tax refund in Norway? Which is my last destination?

[d.farooq]

Can i use the item before claiming the tax refund?

[nabati]

Any idea if the same works for Eurostar instead of flights/airports?

[revaddict]

For Tax refunds we need to pay tax back in home country right?
