I am planning to do a round trip by car the same day in the US. However I also plan to buy the product and ship it to a US address 10 days before "picking up" the product, so the purchase date and receipt will indicate 10 days prior to my visit in the US. In this situation, do I still need to pay taxes, or am I exempted? Hi folks,

In this situation, do I still need to pay taxes, or am I exempted?
