If a buyer purchases and takes delivery outside the sellers jurisdiction then the sellers sales tax would not be applicable. But any sales tax in the jurisdiction where the purchaser took possesion ma y be applicable. The seller would usually only be required to collect sales tax where the buyer purchases and takes possession within the sellers jurisdiction.
