✅ 5. Tips for Tax-Free Purchases of Apple Products

If you use this ID to log in to the Apple official website (apple.com) to purchase hardware products, such as iPhone, MacBook, etc.:

  • Your US address will be used by default at checkout
  • If the address is in a tax-free zone (e.g., Delaware), the system will automatically not charge sales tax

Note: The item must be shipped to a tax-free zone address (can be coordinated with a freight forwarder), otherwise you cannot enjoy the tax exemption

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Apple determines your location based on IP; enable a US node VPN when necessary
  • Do not switch accounts frequently or log in to App Stores of different countries/regions repeatedly to avoid account lockout
  • Generally low risk for downloading apps; pay attention to address consistency when purchasing hardware
