Actually it states in Article I, Section 9, Clause 5, that no tax or duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.

In other words, Congress does NOT have the right to tax exports sent from one state to another.

In the United States: No. Congress does not have the power to tax goods simply because they are being shipped across a state line. Congress does have the power to tax goods if they are being shipped into the United States.

The original intent of taxes was just that, imported goods through tariffs. So yes, they can.
