On Amazon I order a lot for a tax exempt business, but there are some that still will not remove tax. Tax exemption in WA is a pain and causes me no end of hassle when trying to make purchases. I use a credit card that states “tax exempt” with the ID #, yet some companies still insist on trying to charge tax.

Amazon charges tax because they're based out of here. Kuiu is not and has no affiliation with Wa. Cabelas also does because they have a store in this state. SKRE gear Doesn't charge tax

Send them your resale certificate. If they have it on file you should be able to buy without sales tax, if their computer is set up for it.
