What to watch out for when buying a Cartier watch in Europe?

　　Many people like to take the opportunity to buy a Cartier watch when travelling in Europe. So, when buying in EuropeCartier watch, what should we watch out for? Let's take a look together.

　　Points to note when buying Cartier watches in Europe

　　When we arrive in the beautiful city of Paris, aside from sightseeing, our travel schedule naturally includes shopping. At this time, people usually visit Galeries Lafayette or Printemps. There are Cartier counters here, and generally many older tourists complete their children's or relatives' and friends' requests to buy Cartier wristwatches here. They generally use tax forms from the two major European tax-free companies, so the cash tax refund percentage is relatively low, at only 10.8%. According to French tax rates, the refund is 19.6. Apart from the consumption tax which is non-refundable, generally 16% can be refunded, with the difference being earned by the tax-free company and the merchant in the form of handling fees. Both Galeries Lafayette and Printemps set aside a 10% commission for tour guides, so this is also considered one of the costs paid by tourists. Therefore, it is clear that purchasing goods here is not a wise choice.

　　During free time, we can visit surrounding authorised watch dealers. Across the whole of Paris, there are 17 authorised Cartier watch dealers. Some of these use CERFA tax forms, which offer a relatively high tax-free refund rate; not every watch dealer is qualified to use this company's tax-free scheme. Generally, they can refund up to 16%. Previously, there were dealers offering full tax refunds, but due to recent changes in French tax-free regulations, most dealers are now reluctant to offer full refunds.

　　When leaving the EU to return home, we need to go to airport customs to have our tax-free forms stamped. Remember not to check in the items requiring a tax refund in advance, as customs will inspect them. Once stamped, if you have already collected your cash in the city centre, you must mail the first copy of the tax form. For GLOBAL BLUE, this is blue. For Premier, it is the top pink copy. For CERFA, it is the first pink copy. If you did not use a credit card as a guarantee when collecting cash, you must not mail the first copy. This can be withdrawn directly at the airport bank counter; if you run out of time, you can do it upon returning to China at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Shanghai Branch on the Bund, or at the ICBC counter in Terminal 2 of Pudong Airport.

　　Where is the cheapest place to buy Cartier watches?

　　Due to the European economic downturn, coupled with the depreciation of the euro and sluggish demand, many watch dealers are reducing their stock, so discounts will be slightly higher. When travelling to Europe, Chinese visitors generally enter via either France or Germany depending on their visa. You need to plan your purchase strategy based on the country you enter and your travel route.

　　Generally speaking, Paris, France is the best place to buy Cartier watches. Due to national character and the system of watch dealers, Germany rarely offers satisfactory prices, so purchasing Cartier in Germany is not recommended. When buying Cartier in Paris, people usually go to Galeries Lafayette or Printemps. There are Cartier counters there, where many elderly tourists fulfil the requests of children, relatives, and friends to purchase Cartier watches. These stores use tax forms from Europe's two major tax-free companies, so cash refund rates are relatively low at only 10.8%. According to French tax rates, this is a refund of 19.6%. Aside from the non-refundable consumption tax, generally around 16% can be refunded, with the difference being retained by the tax-free company and the merchant as handling fees.
