You should ask your suppliers about this one. As a general rule, trade among the 50 states is supposed to be open and free, but there are exceptions -- many which were created as a result of fierce litigation over states' rights vs. federalism in the 18th and 19th Centuries, some of the cases going all the way to the Supreme Court. It may also be cheaper to buy product labeled and tax-paid for OR instead of CA, or vice-versa. This is something very few lawyers would know about in enough detail to advise you, but the suppliers sales reps should know.
