Our policy for sales to be exported by a buyer who is not a dealer buying for resale is this. We collect the sales tax up front then when the buyer provides us with a freight bill from a common carrier showing the items was delivered from our yard to a port and a bill of lading showing that the item was shipped from that port and the buyer did not take possession in the State of Florida, we will refund the sales tax. These documents must be received before we report and submit the sales tax to the Department of revenue at the end of the month. After that we will provide an affidavit to you that will allow you to petition the State of Florida for a refund yourself.
