On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair that states can require sellers to collect and remit sales or use tax on purchases delivered within their state, regardless of whether the seller has a physical presence there. This means online sales are now subject to local sales tax collection. 

To shop with Nina Designs, you must provide valid wholesale documentation that verifies your exemption from local sales tax and confirms your registration to conduct business in the jewelry trade.   

If you do not have the necessary documentation to open a wholesale account, please visit our Retail Suppliers page for links to companies that offer a wide range of our products.
