Your order may contain items from one or more of these online merchants. Each of these online merchants may have different sales tax collection obligations, depending upon their business policies and the location of their operations. Amazon.com calculates sales taxes on the merchants' behalf in accordance with their instructions. These instructions vary depending on the tax laws in each state.

The following is a partial list of merchants selling items at Amazon.com which may be included in your order, and the states in which they charge sales tax.
