Hawaii Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax here — and Hawaii is outside IFTA and IRP, because no interstate highway connects it to another state. You pay Hawaii's state fuel tax and a county vehicle-weight tax at registration (charged by the pound, not the mile). At 55,000 lb and up the federal 2290 HVUT (IRS Form 2290) still applies. No per-mile credential and no per-mile return exist here.

IFTA and registration still apply
Every state, including Hawaii, still reaches you through the IFTA fuel tax (reconciled by the fuel you burn) and IRP apportioned registration (your plate). The only states that add a per-mile weight-distance or highway-use tax on top are Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Connecticut.
