A producer of some electronic hardware did not allow for delivery to a non-EU country. I therefore sent it to Germany and it will be forwarded to me by my relatives.
However, there are taxes on importing the product to Germany "Einfuhrumsatzsteuer" and "Kapitalbereitstellungsprovisionen" (whatever that is). Is there a way to receive a refund upon "exporting" the product again? Is there anything I should do before receiving/ordering the hardware?
If the item is delivered to a private person in Germany, it is imported, and various import taxes will have to be paid. As far as German customs is concerned, that's the end of the story. It's imported, it cannot be unimported. You won't get any import taxes back.
Companies within Germany may have means to transfer the item to another country without ever being imported, but that would be highly specialised businesses. They will charge for their service, and it's quite possible that there are import taxes in your own country anyway that you can't avoid.
It depends on the local law in Germany how and when they would offer refunds. Assuming your customs fees are VAT.
