Sales Tax Compliance for 3PL and Print-On-Demand: When Does Nexus Apply?

Storing inventory in a state (your own warehouse or a 3PL) creates physical nexus, requiring you to collect and remit sales tax there.
Economic nexus laws mean you may owe sales tax in states where you exceed certain sales or transaction thresholds, even without a physical presence.
Most print-on-demand platforms handle sales tax for you unless you already have nexus in a state.
Dropshippers must check both their own and their supplier’s nexus status to ensure proper tax compliance and documentation.
Track where your inventory is stored and where you make sales, register where required, and consider using a tax compliance partner to avoid penalties.
