Effective Date: May 19, 2026

This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales tax is applied to purchases made through Precision Shipping Containers within the United States.

Because our products involve freight-delivered industrial equipment and high-value commercial transactions, tax treatment may vary depending on delivery location, buyer status, product classification, and applicable state regulations.

By purchasing from Precision Shipping Containers, you agree to the terms outlined in this Sales Tax Policy.

When Sales Tax Is Collected

Sales tax is collected only where required under applicable United States federal, state, and local tax laws.

Sales tax obligations may depend on:

• Delivery destination

• State and local tax regulations

• Economic or operational nexus requirements

• Product taxability classifications

• Buyer exemption status

Applicable sales tax is generally calculated based on the delivery address rather than the billing address. 

States Where Sales Tax May Apply

Precision Shipping Containers operates within the United States and may collect sales tax in jurisdictions where legal collection obligations exist.

Sales tax collection responsibilities may arise from:

• Physical business operations

• Warehousing or fulfillment activities

• Economic nexus thresholds

• State-specific transaction volume requirements

Because tax laws vary by jurisdiction, sales tax may apply differently depending on where products are delivered. 

Tax Calculation

Applicable sales tax is calculated automatically during checkout, quotation preparation, or invoice generation where required.

Tax calculations may include:

• Product pricing

• Freight or delivery charges where taxable

• Applicable local tax rates

• State-specific tax rules

Tax amounts are displayed separately from product pricing whenever applicable to support pricing transparency. 

Tax-Exempt Purchases

Certain buyers may qualify for sales tax exemptions where permitted by law.

Potentially exempt purchasers may include:

• Resellers

• Government agencies

• Non-profit organizations

• Agricultural operations

• Qualified industrial or manufacturing businesses

Exemption Requirements

To request tax-exempt treatment, customers must provide:

• A valid state-issued exemption certificate

• Supporting documentation where required

• Documentation before payment completion

If valid exemption documentation is not submitted before order processing, applicable sales tax may still be charged. 

Product Taxability

Sales tax treatment may vary depending on:

• Product category

• Intended use

• State-specific tax rules

• Freight or delivery structure

Shipping containers and related industrial equipment are generally considered taxable tangible personal property in many jurisdictions, although certain exemptions or reduced tax treatments may apply in specific circumstances. 

Freight & Delivery Charges

Freight and delivery charges may be taxable or non-taxable depending on applicable state law.

Where required:

• Sales tax may apply to shipping charges

• Delivery-related fees may appear separately on invoices

• Freight taxation follows applicable local regulations

Customers are encouraged to review invoices carefully for tax disclosures.

Customer Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for:

• Providing accurate delivery information

• Supplying valid exemption documentation where applicable

• Reviewing invoices before payment submission

• Understanding local tax obligations that may apply to their purchase

Precision Shipping Containers makes commercially reasonable efforts to apply tax rules accurately, but customers remain responsible for complying with their own local tax obligations where applicable.

Tax Law Changes

Sales tax regulations change periodically due to legislative, regulatory, or jurisdictional updates.

Precision Shipping Containers reserves the right to:

• Adjust tax collection practices

• Update invoicing procedures

• Modify tax handling processes

as necessary to remain compliant with evolving tax requirements. 

International Orders

Unless otherwise arranged in writing, Precision Shipping Containers primarily operates within the United States.

For any approved international transactions:

• U.S. sales tax treatment may differ

• Import duties, VAT, customs fees, or local taxes may apply separately

• Customers are responsible for destination-country obligations where applicable
