Tax refund for products shipped outside US by a freight forwarder

I've read posts saying if a product is sent to a US address, there's no tax refund even if the final destination is outside the U.S.


But on Amazon, I found that you are eligible for tax exemption and refund if the U.S. address is a freight forwarder and they send you a Bill of Lading showing the final delivery location is outside the U.S. and the Bill of Lading also references your order number.


Is this application to Apple store? and what is the process if yes.

If Apple becomes aware of the shipping forwarder that you use they will block future sales to that address as there policy in the US Store is they do not ship internationally. Period. There is no means to recover the tax you paid unless your shipping forwarder is willing to pay you for it.
