加拿大对VISITOR好象有购物TAX返还政策. 在美国有吗?
在美国购物交的TAX在出美国时能否返还?

Yeah it doesn't look like we can get a refund. 
Here's what I found on www.customs.gov
Sales Tax
Foreign visitors to the United States frequently confuse the state sales tax with the value-added tax (VAT). The state sales tax is a small tax on purchases or services, calculated at the time of purchase, which the individual states assess and which the U.S. federal government neither determines nor receives. The VAT, on the other hand, is a national tax commonly applied in foreign countries that is included in the actual sales price of an item. The United States does not have a VAT, and the federal government cannot refund state sales taxes.
Many states do not charge tax on items shipped out of state. Ask about sales-tax policies in the state where you make your purchases.
If you want further information, particularly on any of the above items, please contact an American Embassy or Consulate before you leave, or write to: U.S. Customs Service, P.O. Box 7404, Washington, D.C. 20044, U.S.A. You can also find additional information on the U.S. Customs web site at www.customs.gov.
