Because tourists don't go to NJ to shop. That would be an entirely different trip, and out of the way. Meanwhile, if you're taking a ride on the free ferry, why not get off and shop,
which is what a lot of tourists do in NY anyway. There is no tax on clothes in New York (up to a certain amount). But when it opens, you would be better to ask the customers shopping there.

There is no sales tax on an item of clothing or footwear that costs less than $110. An item of clothing or footwear that costs $110 or more is subject to the full 8.875% tax rate.
Sales tax is calculated per item, so even if you buy two or more items that add up to $110 or more, you only pay tax on the items that individually cost $110 or more.
