I'm curious to know if anyone in the US has experience in purchasing items from Europe? After a ton of searching I haven't found any solid info on how this works. Or the process.
Example: I'm considering an O'Three drysuit. I do tend to prefer to keep my money "in house" so to speak but these have really caught my interest.
Anyway, it seems that the VAT tax could possibly be either witheld by the store upon purchase or refunded after the transaction? How does this work? Does it depend on the individual retailer? Without the VAT it looks to be a significant savings, but are there more costs involved that I'm not aware of, aside from shipping ofcourse?
Thanks, Lift.
