    i don't think you can escape taxes unless you buy it from 3rd party retailer like macmall.com provided you live outside of cali.

    i am not an american citizen anyway , i am Egyptian, my friend is buying it for me , so i think he will need to give a proof of the taxes to take the taxes while leaving from the airport as he will not be using the product in the US and he is not american.
