FET for exports

NTEA commonly receives FET questions on bodies and vehicles exported from the U.S. As with most FET issues, there is no simple answer. The sale for export is tax-exempt as long as certain conditions are met. If you, as the seller, do not meet these conditions or possess proper paperwork, the Internal Revenue Service can hold you responsible for FET as if the body or vehicle was sold to a customer in the U.S. for use there.
