No, a state cannot impose an import tax on goods entering from another state, as this would violate the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2 prohibits states from laying duties on imports or exports without the consent of Congress. This ensures a uniform system of trade across states and prevents economic barriers between them.
