Actually, no. Legally, you only have to pay sales tax on something from a catalog if the company is located within the state you are purchasing from. I think it has something to do with the provision in the Constitution regarding interstate trade and the fact that neither state has the authority to tax a business transaction from another state and since the transaction is in both states, it can't be determined who would have the authority to tax. Or something like that.
