About ZIP 19808

ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.

Delaware charges no sales tax at all; retailers instead pay a gross receipts tax, which is why shoppers cross from Maryland and Pennsylvania to buy here. For destination-based sourcing, Delaware 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.
