How to Order in 3 Simple Steps

Enter your VAT ID at checkout

Provide your business details and valid VAT identification number. Our system validates the number in real-time via the official EU VIES database. Once verified, the shopping cart is automatically updated to Net (0% VAT).

Delivery to your EU company address

We ship your order via DHL or freight carrier directly to your registered company address within the EU. The cross-border movement of goods is fully documented.

Compliant net invoice issued

Your invoice contains both VAT identification numbers along with the legal statutory note: “VAT-exempt intra-Community supply pursuant to § 4 No. 1b in conjunction with § 6a German UStG (Reverse-Charge)”.

⚠️ Important note on destination country:
VAT-free intra-Community supplies are legally permitted exclusively for shipments to another EU Member State (outside Germany). For orders with a delivery address located within Germany, German statutory VAT is always charged.
