About ZIP 02134
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Massachusetts allows no local sales tax, so Boston charges the flat state rate — but clothing under $175 per item is exempt, and only the amount above $175 is taxed. For destination-based sourcing, Massachusetts sellers should confirm the rate by full street address rather than ZIP alone — a single ZIP can cross a city limit or a transit-district boundary, and the rate follows the boundary, not the mail route.
