TL;DR
Tax Free must be arranged at a participating shop at the time of purchase, using your passport to issue a special receipt or form. At the airport, bring the paperwork and be prepared to show the goods, ideally unopened.
Ask for Tax Free at the cashier when paying. The shop should enter your passport details in its electronic system and issue a special refund receipt.
The Tax Free paperwork is issued by the shop, not by the airport, and only participating retailers provide it. The airport counter processes the refund using the documents from the store; participating shops are relatively limited.
Take the Tax Free form and the purchased item, preferably still sealed and unopened, to the airport refund counter. Staff may ask to inspect the goods before issuing the refund.
