Idon't think you understand very well how sales tax or a value added tax functions...
If a Detriot manufactured car is sold in California, the tax goes to Californian state government and Michigan state government makes a refund...similarly if french wine is sold in a German supermarket the tax goes to German government and French government makes a refund...
Similrly New York port can not charge sales tax on goods intended to be sold in Michigan...
Believe me if you understand the practical working of indirect taxation you will realise Punjab will be the biggest winner being the largest consumer market with highest GDP share...
