Another option is to find a freight forwarder located in a state without a sales tax, such as Delaware, New Hampshire, Montana, and Oregon.

You probably will need to discuss this with your freight forwarder. eBay is required to remit sales taxes to the State that the items were delivered to. The freight forwarder would have to prove they were then reshipped out of the country but the State may not make any allowance for this in their sales tax laws.
