The UK exporter will zero rate the goods and the importer in Austria will declare the goods on their VAT return form.

However, if the buyer is not registered for VAT or the seller cannot obtain his VAT number then the seller must charge the UK rate of VAT. The national code for VAT in Austria is ATU, the format is 9 digits including the U prefix, eg (AT)U13245857
