disagree  Daryo: on "emporte" qqc du point de départ, pour le "ramener" au point d'arrivée, si je ne me trompe ... home = point d'arrivée? // la belle excuse, dernier ressort en désespoir de cause, quand rien d'autre n'a aucune chance de marcher?

disagree  Daryo: "ramenez dans votre pays" neither here nor there all you have to do is to get out of the EU - and then go wherever you want // as per your own ref. "must be taken out of the EU" not "brought to your home country"

disagree  Daryo: "ramenez dans votre pays" is neither here nor there according to the EU legislation - all you have to do is to get out of the EU - and then go wherever you want, back home or not makes no difference whatsoever ...

que vous emportez à la sortie du territoire


Explanation:
"Remboursement de la TVA

Les visiteurs venant d'un pays hors UE peuvent se faire rembourser la TVA payée sur les marchandises achetées durant leur séjour dans l'Union, à condition de les présenter à leur sortie du territoire, accompagnées des documents relatifs au remboursement de la TVA, dans les trois mois suivant l'achat".

Définition d'EMPORTER : Prendre quelque chose avec soi en quittant un lieu : Il est sorti sans emporter ses clés.

que avez pris avec vous en sortant de l'UE


Explanation:
taken home with you
litteralement =
[les marchandises] que vous avez ramené chez vous

mais l'original n'est pas suffisamment précis "taken home" du point de vue du pays où les marchandises ont été vendues veut simplement dire "les sortir du pays" (de l'UE).


ce qui en fait correspond à la legislation, petit détail non négligeable ...


You will receive an invoice for the goods. You must show the invoice, the refund form, the goods and any other necessary documents to the customs officers of the last EU country you leave. The customs officers must stamp the form as proof of export. Without the stamp, you will not obtain the refund.

in fact there is one word surplus to requirement (the AND in "on goods AND taken home") that slipped past the proofreading:

As a non-EU resident, you can reclaim any VAT paid on goods AND taken home with you, provided the claim is made within 3 months of the purchase.

should be:

As a non-EU resident, you can reclaim any VAT paid on goods taken home with you, provided the claim is made within 3 months of the purchase.

i.e. any VAT paid on goods [that you have] taken home with you

disagree  GILLES MEUNIER: on dirait qu'ils ont volé les marchandises, c'est ce que penserait un français.....Ils sont sortis de l'UE en cachant les marchandises. Les subtilités de la langue française....

  -> j'ai plutôt l'impression qu'il est question du manque de subtilité de la part de ceux qui ne voit jamais qu'un verre à moitié vide? sans parler de la "subtilité" de donner des instructions erronées aux visiteurs ...
