Looks like you did not read my original post carefully. Did you buy it on or after July 1? And I repeat again, this is NOT about Dom. Rep. taxes.
BTW your original post states: Effective July 1, 2020 eBay ..... :unsure:

I then changed my shipping address to Florida and it still states NO TAX.

Maybe I need to actually place the order or my account has me as items being exported.

This thread has become quite taxing.

Or perhaps untaxed?

Next order I place, I will have to see just what they want to do to me.

I have made two separate orders on Amazon this month and both had taxes added. My shipping address is CPS Miami. Hope something can be done about this as I buy so much on Amazon!

I would suggest you contact Amazon and inform them that the CPS Miami address is a freight forwarder (Exporter) so they can put it in their system.

... or switch to using BMCargo. :cool:

My address looks exactly same as yours. The only difference is BM-xxxxx number and my name, of course. It still adds the new tax.

I guess it was a typo. Should be 2021 of course.

Here is the screenshot of the email I received.

Can you tell me exact format of BM Cargo address you use on Amazon ?
I use:

My name
Suite 100 BM xxxxxx
8400 NW 25th Street
Doral, FL 33198-1534

If an Amazon third party seller is located in Florida, you have to pay Florida sales tax. Also, if the Amazon distribution center from which the item is shipped is in Florida, you have to pay the sales tax.

BM Cargo sent an *email in February giving 3 Doral address format options that must be used for Amazon orders. I went to their office and they corrected mine for me.
*I would embed the screenshot but I can’t crack the code.

The ultimate test.

If you want, send me a PM with an Amazon link to "ONE" item that taxes you and I will try it with my account.

Try this one -

My shopping cart shows the tax, same address as yours. This is not Amazon Prime, it's 3rd party seller on Amazon, not located in Miami, free shipping. There was no tax before July 1st.

I would be charged 52cents Tax when shipping to an Encargopaq address.

SantiagoDR what did you find out and to what forwarder?

I tried this item as well. It was 9.15 plus .64 tax. How odd that Bred got a different price.
