How is the sales tax rate determined?
The amount of sales tax charged depends on the state in which you reside. Check with your state's tax authorities to learn more about the sales tax rate you should expect for purchases.
As a buyer, how will I know what the total price of a product (including tax) is before purchase?
The total price, including an estimate of the sales tax based on your billing location, will be shown to you before you confirm your order.
What if I am not a resident of any of the states listed?
U.S. state and local jurisdictions generally impose a use tax on taxable products that a consumer purchases from out-of-state vendors when the vendor has not collected the tax. Therefore, you may be responsible for reporting and remitting your state's use tax directly to your state's tax agency. As with sales tax, use tax is governed by state law and the specifics can vary greatly from state to state. Therefore, we urge you to contact your state or local tax agency or your tax adviser on your use tax obligations.
