Legally, this isn't true. You're obligated to pay "use tax" (same as sales tax) to your state of residence when you bring it home if you aren't an Oregon resident, for most states. (Of course, almost no one does...)
If you live outside the US, however, you can probably get away with this as the total value is likely under the customs exemption threshold, or if you use the device for a bit before you get on the plane, you can claim it's "used".
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYes of course, I wasn’t encouraging anyone to evade taxes. However, if you are an Oregonian or Alaskan, you are good to go. Not sure how it works if you are from BC, maybe it’s covered under your tax free import allowance. As a Washingtonian, I would always list and pay use taxes on my purchases from the Portland Apple Store cough if I ever shopped there before.
