Non-EU customers

If you collect the goods in Italy

Consumers resident in a non-EU country can purchase in Italy from Vinifera and subsequently receive a refund of the Italian VAT (Italian VAT on wine is 22%).

How does it work?
Vinifera issues a Tax Free invoice, which requires payment of the entire invoice amount including VAT.
Thanks to this invoice, the consumer will be able to receive a VAT refund by contacting the associated Tax Refund Agency (we work with Global Blue), present at airports and border crossings.

The refund of VAT paid on purchases of consumer goods made in Italy by foreign travelers residing in a non-EU country is due when the following requirements meet:

- the consumer must be a private citizen domiciled or resident in a non-EU country
- the goods purchased, for which VAT reimbursement is requested, must necessarily be intended for personal or family use
- the purchase must be for a total amount greater than €154.94 (including VAT)
- the purchase must exclusively concern consumer goods
- the purchased goods must be personally transported outside the European Community within 3 months following purchase, in the tourist's personal luggage


If you wish to purchase and receive the wines at home VAT exempt

Consumers residing in some non-EU countries can buy from Vinifera without paying Italian VAT (Italian VAT on wine is 22%).
It is a regular shipment, pursuant to:art. 8.2 (Non imp.li art. 8, c.1 lett. b) of the Italian D.P.R. n. 633/72.

Consumers, with the exception of those residing in the United States (USA), will have to pay duties and any ancillary charges at the destination.

A fee of 25 Euros for the management of the customs bill is charged for each shipment.
In case of orders exceeding 1,000 Euros, this cost is included.

Delivery time is estimated within 10-15 days, but in some cases the wine may be delivered earlier.
