- U.S. sales tax becomes mandatory for UK businesses once certain state-specific thresholds (nexus) are met, such as economic activity, inventory in U.S. warehouses, or marketplace sales.
- U.S. sales tax and import duties are separate; most goods now face duties due to the end of the de minimis exemption, impacting pricing and margins.
- Compliance is complex and varies by state, requiring registration, tax calculation, filing, and remittance once triggered.
