No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.

U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 5.

This provision prohibits CONGRESS from imposing taxes or duties upon export from a state. It does not prohibit the state taxing exports. Regardless, this not a tax on an expert; rather it is a tax on a purchase.

No one read that thing anymore they just wait for a Federal Judge to tell them what they can or cannot do.

No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.

That would be an iron-clad argument against taxing commerce originating in another state . .

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic . .

I worry less about foreign enemies nowadays than those of domestic origin.

We are in for some rough times, I fear.

Not to be a stickler, that reads that a state can’t levy a tax on its exports. How about its imports?
