isabellalu Posted November 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Dear Fellow Cruisers: Does anyone know how to make up for the missing VAT stamp? I missed stamping on my VAT form for my pearl purchase when leaving the French Polynesia? The store there have my tax withheld and will charge me if they don't receive a stamped VAT form. Thanks, Isabella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted November 12, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I had this happen about ten years ago. The maid in our room mistakenly threw out my documentation. As I remember, I found the phone number or email of the store where I purchased the pearls, and they sent me forms to fill out. Don't remember any more details, but it can be done!

isabellalu Posted November 12, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thanks Wendy! Did you then send the filled forms to the French Polynesia Custom to be stamped? Best, Isabella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted November 12, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I can't remember, I think so. I followed the advice they gave me, and that was probably what happened. At the time I was ticked, believe me, but it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
