Resale certificate
A resale certificate is a document a US business gives a seller to buy goods it plans to resell without paying sales tax on the purchase. The seller keeps it on file as proof. Names and rules vary by state, so check each state's requirements.
Example
A boutique gives its supplier a resale certificate, and its inventory purchases are made without sales tax.
