Four line items. One honest calculation.
In Oregon, the labor component of prep services is untaxed. In California, Washington, and several other states, it is partially taxed. Your prep center pays that tax at purchase and flows it into your invoice.
Polybags, labels, cartons, shrink wrap bought in Oregon are sales-tax-free. Same items bought in California carry an average 8.82% combined rate.
Oregon does not impose sales tax on storage services. Some states apply conditional tax on warehousing, others do not. We model the narrow, defensible exposure here.
Most states have narrow, conditional use-tax exposure on inventory passing through a warehouse. Oregon does not. We model a 50% fact-pattern exposure to stay conservative.
What Oregon does NOT change.
Oregon does not eliminate Amazon FBA nexus. Post-Wayfair, once Amazon stores your inventory in a state, that state has nexus regardless of where you prepped it. Any prep center pitching Oregon as a way to avoid state sales tax collection on Amazon sales is wrong, and your accountant will say the same. The savings above are on the line items Oregon actually controls: the services we sell you, the supplies we buy for your product, and the inventory sitting at our shop before it ships.
