Most (if not all) states that have a sales tax have a "use tax". What this means is that anything purchased outside the state and brought into the state can be taxed at the state's sales tax rate. And that includes if the state in which the good is purchased has lower tax rate, then your state can charge you the difference. For instance, you buy something in PA but live in NY. PA charges you 5.0% sales tax and NY charges 6.0% sales tax (and these are just exemplary numbers). If you pay PA sales tax, NY can charge you the 1.0% difference in sales tax. If you do not pay PA sales tax, NY can charge you the entire 6.0% sales tax.
Every year, I pay tax on all my Internet purchases. (Most people don't, just because it's almost impossible for the state to figure out that you've purchased anything over the Internet, but you are supposed to pay sales tax on Internet purchases in CT.) And, this "use tax" is constitutional under current law.
