The items are subject to French VAT, so no tax is payable upon receipt of the package. The VAT exemption is possible for professional customers; the communication of the intra-community VAT number before the sending of the goods allows equi-bride.com to establish the invoice excluding French VAT.
For the customers having ordered and paid on the equi-bride.com website, the VAT refund is possible mainly by bank transfer. To do so, for each order, send by mail the VAT number and attach a copy of one of the company's documents where this code is mentioned (letterhead, customer invoice or blank order, ...)
