  • PROCESSING TIMEFRAME: Tax exemption applications take 7-10 business days to process. Once your application is processed, future orders will no longer be taxed by Newegg.com. If your application lists a previous order that should have been tax exempt, any tax that we collected on that order will be refunded to the original payment method.
  • OUTDATED INFORMATION: If any of your submitted information has changed, please send us the updated forms as soon as possible in order to maintain your tax exemption.
  • INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: Orders shipping outside the United States (with the exception of APO/FPO/DPO and Puerto Rico) will always be charged the requisite tax and duty and cannot be exempt.
