Still, seems to me there should be no way to LEGITIMATELY get around something as plain as “NO TAX OR DUTY...”
At least not with a straight face.
What’s to stop Virginia from striking back and say they are imposing a “use tax” on oranges?
I generally agree regarding fees on products "imported" from other states by end users. Also, products "imported" for resale aren't generally taxed AFAIK. At point of sale by a retailer to an end user within the state is the only place it SHOULD be applied. A sore spot with me, in Texas at least, is a recurring tax on personal property each time it's sold/purchased; vehicles, boats and the like. Anyway, the federales present a whole 'nother problem, er, issue however.
