While in many states clothing is subject to sales tax, in some states it is considered to be a basic need and thus is either entirely non-taxable or only taxable when priced at above a certain threshold.

These states are:

• Minnesota

• New Jersey

• New York

• Pennsylvania

• Rhode Island

• Vermont

Detailed information on the tax status of clothing in each state can be found here.

Many states also consider shipping costs to be taxable. Further information on that can be found here.

Sample orders are taxed the same as regular orders and will be exempt from sales tax if a valid resale certificate has been submitted. However, in some states, samples are exempt from sales tax by default, such as Alaska, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.
