• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Minnesota’s is 200 or more retail sales from outside Minnesota to destinations in Minnesota in the prior 12-month period, or retail sales totaling more than $100,000 in the prior 12-month period. Minnesota still keeps the 200-sale test. Minn. Stat. 297A.66, subd. 1(c)
