Taxes & Customs
I'm from Canada and planning a trip to NYC. If I buy a camera equipment
from there, anybody know if it's possible to recoup the US taxes applied to my purchase? |

Taxes & Customs
There is no program 'for VAT refund for tourists'...there is only a
Sales Tax (which varies from community to community in the percentage added to purchase price), and no program for any type of Sales Tax refund to tourists. |

No. And they collect the federal tax at Cannda Customs unless you've been away for over 48 hours. The UK won't even tell me the customs rate unless I apply in writing, giving full details about my import. "Just bring it to the airport and we'll tell you where to sign" VAT in the UK makes everything in the UK 20-25% more expensive than Japan. |

NYC shops can avoid collecting sales tax if they ship your
purchase to Canada... where you may have to pay Canadian customs or use taxes. wrote: I'm from Canada and planning a trip to NYC. If I buy a camera equipment from there, anybody know if it's possible to recoup the US taxes applied to my purchase? |
