UTTER, J.

Coast Pacific Export, Inc., and Coast Pacific Trading, Inc., seek immunity from Washington's business and occupation tax for certain sales of timber to foreign customers. The corporations claim they fall within a Department of Revenue regulation, WAC 458-20-193C, that defines a tax exemption for export sales. However, the trial court ruled that the corporations' sales do not qualify for the exemption of Rule 193C. We affirm the trial court's decision.
