>I would think that anything bought from another country will involve some element of tax to that country. Any business will have taxes built into its costs and so into the prices it charges. If I buy an American car (most unlikely except as a joke) I'm paying American taxes.

Theoretically not, at least according to the GATT.
Exported goods are subject to the removal of all indirect taxes. There are exceptions, and the word "indirect" is no doubt used as a loophole where one wants to.
