Another important thing to keep in mind about Louisiana is that it is the only state in the USA with tax-free shopping for international visitors. Let me explain a bit about sales tax in the USA, each state and some cities levy a tax on all purchases except for Delaware where there's no sales tax.
In Louisiana many stores selling everything from accessories to wine offer a tax rebate for foreign visitors similar to the one the EU offers foreign visitors. To take advantage of the tax refund plan you'll need to take your passport with you when you shop and check to make certain that the merchant is a member of Louisiana Tax Free Shopping. You may see a red, white and blue emblem in the shop window with the words Tax Free in the center. Ask for a tax refund voucher and save it with the receipt for your purchase. You'll be able to redeem the vouchers at Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, Lafayette Hibernia National Bank at 213 Vermillion in Lafayette or Shreveport Hibernia National Bank at 333 Travis Street in Shreveport, Louisiana. You can get complete information on tax-free shopping in Louisiana on line.
