If the American government has an Internal Revenue Service, shouldn't it also have an External Revenue Service?

The internal revenue service keeps check on people's in-house financial income. The internal revenue service does not keep check on people's out-house affairs. Checking people's potty, would be a waste of time. haha! This answer is brought to you by the makers of charmin, angel soft, and white cloud toilet tissue.

The IRS's responsibility is to see to it that people and companies here in the US pay their taxes. Therefore, an External Revenue Service (ERS) would be tasked with collecting taxes from people and companies outside of the US. Since the US has no jurisdiction over such people, there is no point to such a service. The closest thing that we have to an ERS would be Customs and Border Protection. One of their responsibilities is to collect the appropriate duties and tariffs on items being brought into the country from other nations.
