My invoice has the note “intra community” what should I do?

It’s the duty of the roaster to declare the intra community invoices to the local tax authorities.

Roasters registered for VAT in a European country different from Germany will have a so-called “intra community” invoice when we import the coffee in Germany. It means that our invoice will be tax exempt, and the roaster will have to declare the invoice in his country and provide the transport document (CMR) to us as a proof of delivery.
