If the buyer's state has a sales tax, but we do not meet the economic nexus threshold, the buyer may be responsible for submitting USE TAX in that state. Sales tax exempt entities located in any US state or territory that has a sales tax will be asked to submit the required exemption document/number at the time of sale.
