Taxing purchases in states without sales tax

Why are my apple purchases taxed? I have lived in Alaska for almost a year and there is no state tax or sales tax.

“SALES TAX AND TAX EXEMPTION

Apple Store purchases will include sales tax based on the ship-to location and the sales tax rate in effect at the time of shipping unless proof of state tax-exemption is provided. To assure that your order is tax exempt, please call Apple Store Sales Support at 1-800-793-9378. Be prepared to provide proof of state tax-exempt status for the state where the product is shipping. The organization or individual name on the order must exactly match the state tax-exempt certificate. Federal tax exemption certificates are not accepted.”
