Tax obligations vary widely from place to place.
Some tax on residency after a set time of stay, but entitle you to community services (Canada).
Others tax on citizenship, and are still binding in the country of birth even if you have dual citizenship (USA).
The US now has a per state and federal tax withholding obligation for international eCommerce businesses selling to US customers as of 2019. The amount and customer sale count grace thresholds vary state to state, but failure to file a US federal return (even for $0 taxable revenue) as a non-US company is still a $10k fine.
Don't YOLO this one, talk with the US chamber of commerce rep for the areas you want to export/import into.
People may not like taxes... but they will hate the fines, seized shipments, or jail even more. In many cases, the withheld taxes can be recovered if the buyer can prove the destinations tax rules were incorrectly applied. ;)
