Aliexpress is not a cali company importing... Its a small foreign merchant in an opaque country exporting into Calif. All Calif sees is a parcel delivered. I don't see how Calif has any jurisdictional powers to assert audits on a small chinese merchant in china. |

Ali Express is one of the largest merchantile organizations in the world by shipment volume, and one of the largest importers of record in the U.S.
U.S. Customs provides customs records to local taxing authorities, who have always had the power of taxation over imported goods. (Import taxes aka customs duties have been around since at least Ancient Mesopotamia, circa BC 1900.)
