North Carolina, along with many other States, does in fact expect you to pay the sales/use tax on products bought online/mail-order from out of State businesses. It's part of a resident's income tax return. I suspect many people cheat and don't actually pay the tax they are supposed to, but it might not be wise to broadcast how great it is to break the law.
