About ZIP 07104
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
New Jersey allows no local sales tax, and Newark's Urban Enterprise Zone lets qualifying in-person retail sales be charged at half the state rate. For destination-based sourcing, New Jersey 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.
