It doesn't matter if you buy a candy bar or a car in California; if you take delivery anywhere in the state (except Indian reservations) you must pay sales tax on your purchase.

Is the buyer or seller responsible for title insurance?
Here in California, it is a matter of local custom. In Southern California, typically the seller agrees to purchase the owners policy for the buyer, the buyer supplies the title insurance for the lender. In Northern California, the buyer typically pays for both policies. It is, however, a matter that is covered in the contract between the seller and buyer and is negotiable, as is everything else. All closing costs can be negotiated as part of the sales contract. Who pays for title insurance varies from state to state based on local custom, but can be negotiated between the buyer and seller as part of the sales contract. There are no laws providing for either party to be required to pay. In the case where the seller has elected to pay title expenses, the buyer needs to make sure that the Lender has approved those fees to be paid by the seller. Some types of mortgages require that the buyer/borrower have a certain amount of funds available for the closing fees and may "cap" what fees can or cannot be paid by the seller in behalf of the buyer.

Can state impose an import tax on goods entering from another state?
No, it is forbidden by the US Constitution. But states can impose a "use" tax on its residents, which has the effect of being an import tax. A "use" tax is a sales tax that the buyer is obligated to pay to the state in which the buyer resides. When a buyer buys goods in another state and has them shipped to the buyer's state, the buyer is supposed to pay his or her state the applicable use tax. In sales tax, the seller is obligated to collect the tax from the buyer and to pay the collected taxes to the state. In use tax, the buyer is obligated to pay the tax. Recently, California's income tax forms included a line for its residents to report and pay "use" taxes on their out-of-state purchases, and California's use tax rate is currently the same as its sales tax. California recently changed its definition of "retailer" in order to collect unpaid use taxes from on-line retailers who are not collecting use taxes from purchases made by California residents from out-of-state, on-line retailers. A "use" tax, however, may be unconstitutional if a court finds that it unduly interferes with interstate commerce, as the U. S. Constitution only authorizes Congress to regulate commerce. Since the power to regulate interstate commerce is not expressly granted to the States and only granted to Congress, whether a state tax violates the Constitution's Commerce Clause is dependent on whether a court believes that the state's law, tax, or regulation impedes Congress's ability to regulate interstate commerce. Usually, a state must show a compelling state interest to enact a state law that directly affects and impacts interstate commerce.
