LMAO! When you said "Indian places" I pictured a little 7-11 type convenience store run by Indians (or Pakistanis or whatever) not a Native American reservation. I was trying to figure out how a Indian store could even POSSIBLY be viewed as non-US property.
If the stuff sold on reservations is tax-ex because it's not on US soil, aren't people technically importing those items into the US once they leave the reservation and, if so, wouldn't the same tax laws, customs regs, etc apply as if the person bought the items from Europe or anyplace else outside the US?
