Buying Things in the USA

[admarlow]

If you buy something in the USA can you claim back the tax you paid on the item?

[NORMANTHEDOG]

yes,at the airport on the way home,but then they will charge you the import duty on it,which is more then the tax.

98% wrong I'm afraid Norman. Only one US state offers a tax refund service to tourists, Indiana.

An you pay import duty on it (if above the duty free limit) whether you've had tax refunded or not.
