VAT Refund on order in EU

Hello,

I live in the UK. I am going to be ordering an item from Germany to be delivered to my hotel in Italy. I will then leave with the item back to the UK. It's a ski bag approximately worth £175. 

Is there a way I can claim the VAT refund? If so what is the process?

Thank you

    Speak to the company selling you the item and, assuming they are subscribed to the VAT back scheme, they should be able to assist
