How to handle NYS Clothes taxed at a different rate?

Hi All

I haven't spent much time at all configuring tax stuff so I'm pretty much in the dark. I'm in New York State and I have 1 tax zone and rate.

Apparently, up until now clothes were only supposed to be taxed when over $100. :ohmy: Even though it's too late for past orders I'd still like to learn how to do that if possible.

But now, as of March 1st, all clothing is being taxed but at a different rate than regular taxable goods. I have thousands of articles of clothing so I'd like to know how to set this rate using an ez pop upload, SQL, or by category. Category is the weakest method since I'd have to move some items around, but it's still preferable to editing by hand, which is not feasible.

So: I have around 30,000 items in 350 categories. Everything is taxable. There's the basc 8.125% rate for the majority then probably 5,000 items in 30 or so categories need to have their own tax rate (4.125%). This only applies to orders being shipped to my zone (NYS).

Thanks in advance!
