Any way to avoid China sales tax or is that just the cost of doing business?

Look through the provider list for a company you are willing to do business with?

Good grief, the sales tax is only 6% on a service that's already extremely affordable.

I think I'd rather pay Chinese sales tax than work with Fireworks, but thank you for the suggestion.
