Tax Free and Purchases Outside the EU
For customers living outside the European Union, Bon Gioielli offers two different ways to purchase:
1. Purchase with Delivery in the European Union and Tax Free through Global Blue
You can buy your piece with Italian VAT included and have it delivered to an address within the European Union.
In this case, we can activate the Tax Free procedure through Global Blue, the agency that manages VAT refunds for customers living outside the EU.
Taking into account the fees charged by the service, the actual refund is generally around 15% of the price paid, compared with the 22% Italian VAT.
The refund is claimed when leaving the European Union, usually at the airport, after the necessary customs procedures. Depending on the options available, you can choose to receive it in cash or as a credit to your card.
2. Direct Shipping Outside the European Union, Invoiced Without VAT
Alternatively, we can ship the piece directly to a country outside the EU. In this case, the sale is made without Italian VAT, so the price is recalculated by removing the 22% VAT already included in the prices on our website.
On arrival in the destination country, the customer will be responsible for any shipping, clearance, duty and local tax costs, in accordance with the regulations in force in their country.
In our experience, this second option can be particularly advantageous for shipments to the United States, as it allows you to buy directly without Italian VAT.
