When it comes to prices and taxes, CONTAINERS SHIPPING EXPORT LLC believes in full transparency. Our Sales Tax Policy explains how taxes are calculated, when they are charged, and what buyers should know before purchasing shipping containers from our official website, www.shippingcontainerexport.com. Shipping container logistics include regulations that vary by state, as well as transportation and business rules. Because of this, customers need to understand how sales tax may apply to their purchase, whether it is for personal or business use. This policy ensures that every transaction is clear, accurate, and fair.
CONTAINERS SHIPPING EXPORT LLC follows all federal, state, and municipal tax laws when collecting sales tax. The amount of sales tax on your item depends on the delivery location, the type of container, and the current tax rate in your area. Our system automatically calculates the correct sales tax at checkout so that customers always see the final price before they pay. This automated calculation reduces errors and ensures compliance with all U.S. tax regulations.
The sales tax is determined by the shipping or delivery address, not the billing address. Each state has its own rules and tax rates for physical items, such as new, used, or modified shipping containers. When a customer inputs their delivery address, the system automatically applies the correct tax rate. Your invoice will include a breakdown of the tax, so you’ll know exactly how much the container costs, how much delivery will be, and the applicable taxes.
We take into account the following when calculating your taxes:
State and local tax rates
Container size (20ft, 40ft, high cube, etc.)
Condition (new, used, or refurbished)
Modification services, if required
Location and accessibility for delivery
This ensures that each order is taxed correctly based on the laws of the state where it will be delivered.
Certain buyers, such as government agencies, non-profits, farms, and businesses with tax-exempt status, may be eligible for sales tax exemption. Customers must submit valid and verifiable tax-exempt certificates before being granted exemption.
To apply for tax exemption, customers must provide the following:
A valid tax-exemption certificate from the state
Business or organizational information
Contact information verification
Any additional documentation required by law
Once accepted, the exemption will be applied to qualifying orders. Tax-exempt status must be established before checkout, as taxes cannot be refunded after payment without proof.
CONTAINERS SHIPPING EXPORT LLC is required to collect sales tax in all locations where it is mandated by law. Our system automatically updates to reflect changes in tax laws. Depending on state rules, customers who buy containers for resale, export, or use in specific industries may be eligible for exemption. If you have questions about taxes, we recommend reviewing your local tax laws or reaching out to our support team.
Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery information and any applicable exemption certificates. If the information is incorrect or missing, tax calculations may be inaccurate. CONTAINERS SHIPPING EXPORT LLC reserves the right to request additional documentation to comply with federal and state tax laws. Our goal is to ensure that all transactions are legal and that the purchasing process runs smoothly and professionally.
Our support team is available to assist with any questions regarding sales tax, exemptions, or invoice details.
