SHOPPING GUIDEAVOID SALES TAX WITH PACKAGE

FORWARDING

TWO WAYS TO SAVE!

High-value Items

The quickest and easiest way to save money by avoiding sales tax isto purchase high-value items. Computers, mobile phones, &

electronics; clothing, shoes, & jewelry; home furnishings & minor

appliances are some of the items popular with our members.

Consolidated Items

Even if youre not planning any large purchases, you can still use

package forwarding to save money by avoiding sales tax. Most

people make hundreds of dollars in purchases each month, and

thousands each year. Items that may cost only $20 or $30 quickly add

up. Think about items you buy regularly, like household, bath, &kitchen products. You can buy these items one at a time, store them at

OPAS, and then forward them to your state when youre ready; or, try

buying in bulk from warehouse stores!

the table below. Your state is listed in the first column. The Sales Tax,

including maximum local, county, or municipal taxes, is listed in the
