Just be aware that if you are seeking to get cash back on the other side, the lines can get pretty long. Last time I did it, I was only getting EUR 5 back while the mainland Chinese tourists in line were getting what were 100s of Euros.
Thanks, I will call customs to ask then if there is no one here to know.
Yes the lines at Global Blue can be crazy and I always get a high multiple of 5 Euros. That is why I never ask for cash back but mail the stamped receipts to the vendor who refunds me the vat to my German bank account (Lacking that, payment via paypal would make a refund easy) In some cases where they know me I don't pay it in the first place.
