Shipments intended for export by the customer, but with a shipping address to a location in the United States of America, are still subject to sales tax in all applicable states.

In most cases where a state allows an exemption due to export, the customer can provide documented proof, as listed in 1.4(b), that the goods are committed to export at time of sale. If proof cannot be provided at point-of-sale then sales tax must be paid. If the ship-to state does not allow exemption due to export then sales tax must be paid.

Sales tax can be refunded post shipment, as state laws allow, and if appropriate documentation is provided to prove tax exemption within 10 days of receipt of invoice.
