all larger ticket items will be transacted outside the USA for an instant savings of 30%.

Fair Tax does not replace excise taxes imposed on imported goods.

easy to deal with or minimize. It still pays to avoid the 30% sales tax.

Why not? If it’s a “Fair Tax” why not abolish all import taxes, and let Americans save big bucks by importing their cars, computers, refrigerators etc. from overseas? I mean, its so "fair", there shouldn’t be a need for any other tax.

You could even save money on a house by buying a kit overseas, and assembling it on your vacant lot. At one time Sears used to sell house kits just like that.

I haven’t been able to figure out a way to buy real estate overseas and import it into the U.S., but I I’m sure someone’s cogitating on that. and will come up with a way.
