Purchase Process Export out of the EU


1. Purchase of the Vehicle and Signing of the Order Documents

The first step is the purchase of the vehicle. The purchase contract is signed, and the order documents are fully completed.

2. Transfer of the Purchase Price and the Deposit

The buyer transfers the net purchase price of the vehicle. Additionally, a deposit equivalent to the value-added tax (VAT) is transferred as a security deposit. This deposit will be refunded once the export of the vehicle out of the EU is confirmed.

3. Collection of the Vehicle

The buyer collects the vehicle.

4. Submission of the Export Declaration at the Fürstenwalde Customs Office

Before exporting the vehicle, an export declaration must be submitted at the Fürstenwalde Customs Office. Our company offers assistance in handling these formalities.

5. Export Confirmation at the EU Border

When leaving the EU, the departure of the vehicle is confirmed at the external border by the responsible export customs office. An export note is created.

6. Retrieval of the Export Note by the Fürstenwalde Customs Office

The Fürstenwalde Customs Office can retrieve the created export note to confirm the export of the vehicle.

7. Refund of the Deposit

After receiving the export note from the Fürstenwalde Customs Office, our company refunds the deposit equivalent to the value-added tax to the buyer.

8. Export Time Frame

The entire export process must be completed within a maximum of 3 months. Within this time frame, the export note must be created, and the deposit refunded.

This process ensures a smooth handling of the value-added tax refund when selling a vehicle outside the EU.
