How Sales Tax is Calculated:

The amount of tax charged on your order depends on many factors including the identity of the seller, type of item or service purchased, the time and location of fulfillment and the shipment or delivery address of your order.

These charges, if applied at an order level, may be allocated to the individual items in an order.

You need to check with your states Sales Tax Office to determine if you are required to remit Use Tax on the items that you have purchased.
