bcx Hi, Is there a French customs office at Basel SBB that can stamp my VAT refund form for my purchases in France? I will be travelling from Paris Gare de Lyon to Basel SBB by TGV and would like to get my VAT refund form stamped.
NicolasK Hi bcx Thank you for your request. There are no longer any VAT refund offices in Swiss railway stations. Please consult the information here or ask directly at the customs staff on the train. I wish you a nice weekend. Kind regards NicolasK
bcx NicolasK Thanks. To clarify, I’m referring to French customs. Do you mean there are no VAT refund offices for both French and Swiss? Also the link you provided only refers to Swiss VAT.
bcx bcx Also onboard the train is it a machine or a French custom officer? How do I find them? Tomorrow (May 29) I will be on the 09:16 TGV INOUI No. 6703 from Gare de Lyon to Mulhouse. Then the 12:46 TER No. 96219 from Mulhouse to Basel.
NicolasK Hi bcx We don’t have any information on customs operations and controls, so I’m sorry I can’t give you any details. Regards NicolasK
