Export of items
Whether an item can be exported from Sweden or not is stated on each item page. Export regulations vary depending on which country the item is to be exported to and whether the buyer is a company or a private individual.
Export within the EU
Companies within the EU must have a valid VAT number to purchase items VAT-free via PS. Swedish VAT is deposited on the purchase and refunded once valid export documents have been submitted to PS. The buyer is responsible for transport and for ensuring the item is moved out of Sweden.
Export outside the EU
For exports outside the EU, documentation showing that the item has left Sweden is required, such as customs documents or registration certificates. The buyer is responsible for transport, customs handling, and any export costs. Swedish VAT is refunded once valid export documents have been submitted to PS.
Export of vehicles
Export of Swedish-registered vehicles may require extra processing time and documentation before the vehicle can be moved out of Sweden. Swedish license plates are removed before export. The vehicle must therefore be transported or equipped with temporary license plates. Temporary license plates are applied for via the Swedish Transport Agency, and the processing time is normally about two weeks. The fee for temporary registration is 1,000 SEK. For companies Companies within the EU must provide a valid VAT number. Swedish VAT is paid on the bid and service fee and is refunded when valid export documents have been submitted to PS within 14 days of the invoice date.
