Re: Customs's Related Purchase
DEAR TAXPAYER:
Like most states, Arkansas law requires sales tax to be paid on items purchased in Arkansas, and compensating use tax to be paid on items purchased from outside of the state that are delivered, and brought into Arkansas unless there is an exemption granted for the specific item.
The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration currently has information from the United States Customs office, which indicates that you made purchases from outside the United States, and had the items shipped into the States of Arkansas.
Please provide a description of the items purchased, and any sales tax exemption that you think might be applicable. If the items purchased are not exempt, Arkansas Compensating Use Tax is due on the purchase.
If you have previously paid use tax on this merchandise, please send appropriate documentation to substantiate your position.
