Reclaiming VAT Question for Company Outside of the UK

If I were to purchase goods in the UK, send those goods to a forwarder in the UK, and then have those items were supplied to a customer in Japan, do I reclaim the VAT by submitting the form VAT65A and a certificate of shipment?

Hi.
You can only use a VAT65A form if you are an overseas business who has incurred VAT in the UK on goods or services 
The conditions are;
You are not registered, liable or eligible to be registered for VAT in the UK,
and 
You have no place of business or other residence in the UK and do not make any supplies in the UK (other than transport services related to the international carriage of goods, or supplies where VAT is payable by the person in the UK to whom the supply is made).
Please see the guidance below:
Refunds of UK VAT for businesses established outside the UK
Thankyou.

We are a UK registered business. We just receive an invoice from a new vendor (for purchase of a piece of equipment) with 20% VAT charge in GBP But I notice the VAT ID starts with NL (Netherlands). Can we relaim VAT and use that invoice as a supporting document ? My concern is that the VAT ID does not start with GB and I am not sure the VAT incurred is eligable for claim back or not.
