Sorry for a not exactly LF-related question, but I think this might be interesti ng for all of us foreigners buying expensive foto stuff in the U.S. from time to time...
Has anybody succeeded in reclaiming the state tax on the goods you purchased and exported from the U.S.? Here in Germany, this is no problem (although it involves quite a bit of bureauc ratic overhead), but a friend of mine has been told (in stores in N.Y.C.) that i t is impossible to reclaim U.S. state taxes, regardless of wether you are a non U.S. resident and the products purchased will be exported.
