I understand that if I make any use of the item other than retention, demonstration, or display while holding it for sale in the regular course of business, 
I must pay use tax in that state or country measured by the purchase price of such property or other authorized amount.  I further understand it may be 
a criminal offense to give a seller a resale certifi cate for a taxable item which I know, at the time of purchase, is purchased for use rather than for the 
purpose of resale, lease or rental.  I certify that these purchases are exempt per the appropriate laws of the state or country of purchase and that the 
information on this certifi cate is true, accurate and complete.

objective set out under the NAFTA Agreement in the border area.  Businesses buying goods for resale in these states or the northern 
border strip and border region of Mexico which will be transported across state and/or national borders may use this certifi cate in lieu of 
a state resale certifi cate.  Goods are materials and other tangible property.  The certifi cate must be completed by the buyer and given to 
the seller.  The seller must retain this document as part of its accounting records.  The seller must not accept an incomplete document as

business and is likely for resale in that business.  Laws vary by jurisdiction so that misuse of this certifi cate by a purchaser may be a 
criminal offense or a civil penalty.  Regardless, all competent authorities of the respective jurisdictions will actively validate use of this 
certifi cate and vigorously pursue appropriate legal action for its misuse.  If you believe this purchase is tax exempt for other reasons than 
resale, you must use the local state form to claim that exemption.
