Sales Tax Policy – Shipping Container Sales, LLC
At Shipping Container Sales, LLC, we believe in complete transparency when it comes to pricing and tax compliance. Our Sales Tax Policy outlines how taxes are calculated, when they are applied, and what customers should know when purchasing shipping containers through our official website, www.shipping-containersales.com. Because shipping container logistics involve state-specific regulations, transportation rules, and commercial requirements, it is important for customers to understand how sales tax may apply to their individual or business purchase. This policy helps ensure clarity, accuracy, and fairness for every transaction.
1. Sales Tax Collection
Shipping Container Sales, LLC collects sales tax in accordance with federal, state, and local tax regulations. The amount of sales tax applied to your order depends on the delivery location, container type, and the jurisdiction’s current tax rate. Our system automatically calculates the appropriate sales tax during checkout to ensure customers always see the correct final price before completing their payment. This automated calculation reduces errors and ensures full compliance with U.S. tax laws.
2. How Sales Tax Is Calculated
Sales tax is calculated based on the shipping or delivery address—not the billing address. Each state has different tax percentages and rules for physical goods, including new, used, or modified shipping containers. When a customer enters their delivery location, the system instantly applies the correct tax rate. The tax breakdown will be visible on your invoice, ensuring full clarity regarding container cost, delivery charges, and tax amounts.
Our tax calculation considers:
State and local tax rates
Container size (20ft, 40ft, high cube, etc.)
Condition (new, used, refurbished)
Modification services, if applicable
Delivery location and accessibility
This ensures every order is accurately taxed based on the governing rules of the destination state.
3. Tax-Exempt Customers & Documentation
Certain buyers—such as government agencies, non-profit organizations, agricultural entities, and tax-exempt businesses—may qualify for sales tax exemptions. To receive exemption approval, customers must submit valid and verifiable tax-exempt certificates before making payment.
To apply for tax exemption, customers must provide:
A valid state-issued tax-exemption certificate
Business or organization details
Contact information for verification
Any additional documents required by state law
Once approved, the exemption will be applied to eligible orders. Tax-exempt status must be granted before checkout, as taxes cannot be refunded after payment without prior documentation.
4. States Where Sales Tax May Apply
Sales tax is applied in all states where Shipping Container Sales, LLC is legally required to collect it. As tax rules evolve, our system updates automatically to reflect the most current regulations. Customers purchasing containers for resale, export, or specialized industrial use may qualify for exceptions depending on state laws. We recommend checking your local tax guidelines or contacting our support team for assistance with tax-related questions.
5. Customer Responsibility & Compliance
Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery information and any applicable exemption certificates. Inaccurate or incomplete details may result in incorrect tax calculations. Shipping Container Sales, LLC reserves the right to request additional documentation when necessary to comply with federal and state tax regulations. Our goal is to ensure that all transactions meet legal requirements while maintaining a smooth and professional purchasing experience.
