Export price essentially differs from the price for internal EU market. The main reason is the value added tax, for Germany for example it makes 16% from sale price. Naturally, VAT concerns only sellers - companies; if a truck belongs to a person there will be no VAT and export price will be the same as internal price.
So if a German truck dealer sells a truck to the internal market (to the buyer residential in EU), he must add VAT 16% to sale price and after the deal he must transfer these funds to his tax authority. And if a truck is sold for export (buyer will drive the truck out of the EU), than the German seller does not add VAT to sale price but he must show his tax authority the document confirming that the truck has left EU borders - this is tax declaration with customs office stamp.
This buyer or his autotransporting company will receive this document on the EU border. This document should be sent to the seller and he will show it to tax authority.
However many buyers do not carry out this agreement with sellers; in this case seller will have to pay 16% of the sale price out of his own pocket. That is why after such occasions many sellers do not trust the buyers and demand paying VAT regardless of the truck destination; they agree to refund VAT to the buyer only after he (buyer) sends them export declaration. You can send export declaration to the seller by registered letter.
Complete specification of a vehicle takes several pages. So if you have questions - ask the dealers. They will gladly respond.
You can leave question in the field "Send request to the dealer", found in the description of any vehicle. Type in your email, phone number and click "Send" and your request will immediately be translated and sent to the seller. Besides, if the seller speaks English, you will see "English-speaking manager phone" below description of the vehicle. Feel free to call and enquire.
