So this is saying the UK, for one, will now collect VAT on an item being shipped to the US? That makes no sense, unless they have had a serious tax policy change. Every time I've been to the UK you could present receipts at an office/kiosk at the airport and VAT on purchases you were taking out of the country would be refunded. Items being shipped out of the UK to the US were exempt from VAT. They do have a method of claiming the VAT if it was paid and not claimed upon departure.
