True, there's no sales tax across borders, BUT most states have something
called *use tax* on items purchased outside the state. You have to pay the
use tax to the state you're in, and it most often equals the sales tax.
It's basically a loop hole for the state revenue services to circumvent the
constitutional prohibition on taxation of interstate commerce, but it's
nevertheless something you have to pay. In some states, you pay this along
with your yearly tax declaration, and in some states you have to obtain and
fill out a special form. Ignorance of the use tax is no excuse if you get
flagged for tax audit, and recently, many states are coming down hard on
just internet purchases and failure to pay use tax.
