Vat question, selling to America

Legacy_user

I think this is a stupid question but just want to check.

I belive its right to charge VAT to UK and Europe customers.

But no VAT on goods outside the EU. But can I claim the VAT back on the products puchased for sale, when shipped outside the EU?

Or it is wrong to claim the VAT back on products I am paying no VAT on ie the ones shipped outside the EU?

Right forst time - you do not charge vat on your sales invoice to USA and can reclaim the vat on your purchase invoice for those goods as normal.
