You can’t handle VAT rebates on your own, but America lacking a VAT system itself can’t really take advantage of that.

What VAT rebates if i import something into the EU?

It says "to sell into Europe" not "to buy from Europe". In first case I, the EU buyer, owe VAT.

In second case whoever buys may be owed a VAT rebate. But it's not selling any more.

Theoretically, sales tax could act as an anchor for VAT rebates.

Individuals (sole traders, contractors etc) can claim VAT rebates. You don’t have to have a lawyer or an accountant if you’re prepared to figure out the rules yourself.
