No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.
U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 5.


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

What is imported into one state is an export from another state.

This sounds like an all-around confused mess. What does an import to or from a state mean? Is that like importing or exporting to a place outside of the U.S.? Or does it imply within the U.S.? And of course,there’s the question of those states without a sales tax. How will they be impacted? Not saying it is right or wrong to do this sales tax thing at this point in this way,but it sure seems to be confusing everybody. Maybe it is a case of everything going along well,so they decided to shake it up a little...????
